«Throughout the assaults, the plaintiff experienced an ongoing apprehension of imminent physical harm of a sexual nature,» the lawsuit said. «The actions of the John Doe defendants caused terror and fear in the plaintiff's mind. The John Doe defendants had complete control over the plaintiff and had isolated her from others. The number of men and the fact that they had brought golf clubs to the room further intimidated the plaintiff. As a result, the plaintiff acquiesced to their repeated sexual acts and direction to engage in same, but this in no way constituted valid consent under law by the plaintiff.»
The plaintiff alleged that she was too intoxicated to provide proper consent.
"At times the plaintiff was crying and attempted to leave the room but was directed, manipulated and intimidated into remaining, after which she was subjected to further sexual assaults," the lawsuit said.
Hockey Culture is becoming very gross and these players should be punished!
