Woman in world junior hockey sex assault trial rejects defence’s suggestion she wanted a ‘wild night’

In the hotel room with McLeod

*WARNING: This post contains graphic details.*

Humphrey is now going through the consensual sex that McLeod and E.M. had in the hotel room when they arrived. She agreed to the lawyer’s suggestion that she initiated oral sex before they had sex. Humphrey reads a portion of a 2022 statement E.M. gave in which she said the sex with McLeod wasn’t “forced” but she felt like she wasn’t “present in the moment.” E.M. agrees now to that statement. Humphrey: “Are you saying that you were not consenting [to that sex]?” E.M.: “No, I’m not saying that I am not consenting. I was OK with what I was doing. In terms of not being an active participant. I wasn’t doing it for my own enjoyment. I wasn’t doing it for myself. I was just to go through the motions to satisfy him.” Humphrey: “Do you agree that you were not too drunk to consent to sexual intercourse with McLeod?” E.M. “I wouldn’t have made that choice if I was sober, but I did make that choice.” The defence is questioning E.M. about the initial sex with McLeod as part of his overall line of questioning about intoxication and consent. The charges against McLeod and his teammates are in connection with the alleged sexual assaults later in the night with multiple men in the room.
