Five members of the 2018 world junior hockey team have been told to surrender to London, Ont., police to face charges of sexual assault, according to two sources.
The pending charges are connected to an alleged group sexual assault of a woman in a hotel room. The incident occurred following a Hockey Canada fundraising gala in June, 2018, where the players were honoured for their win at the world junior championships.
One-time Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard, who was accused of attacking five women in the private bedroom suite of his downtown Toronto office building, was found guilty by a Toronto jury on Sunday of four counts of sexual assault.
He was acquitted of one of five counts of sexual assault and one count of forcible confinement.
Nygard, 82, who wore a black parka in court, didn’t appear to show any emotion as the verdict was handed down on the jurors’ fifth day of deliberations.

The Metropolitan Police says it will investigate allegations of “non-recent” sexual offences following news reports about comedian Russell Brand.
The force has received a “number of allegations of sexual offences in London” as well as elsewhere in the country, and no arrests had been made.
It follows a joint investigation by the Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4’s Dispatches in which four women accused Brand of sexual assaults and rape.
Our attitudes towards sex have changed profoundly over the past two decades – and not always for the better.
You have to hand it to Channel 4. Two decades ago, the broadcaster helped fuel Russell Brand’s rise to fame. Now, it has removed all of the old programmes that feature him from its website. Back in the 2000s, Channel 4 gained viewers and revenue from Brand’s lewd antics. Today, it is winning plaudits for its Dispatches documentary, which features women accusing Brand of rape and sexual assault. No matter what else can be said about the quality of its output, Channel 4 clearly still excels at riding the cultural zeitgeist.
Russell Brand says it has been an “extraordinary and distressing” week after rape and sexual assault allegations were made against him.
In a video published on social media, he thanked followers for their support and for “questioning the information that you’ve been presented with”.
They are his first public comments since allegations were published by the Sunday Times and Channel 4’s Dispatches last weekend.
Brand has denied the claims.
YouTube has suspended Russell Brand’s channels from making money from adverts for “violating” its “creator responsibility policy”.
The video platform said it was taking action “to protect” its users.
Meanwhile, the BBC said it had removed some programmes featuring the comedian and actor from its streaming services.
It comes after he was accused of rape and sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013. He denies the claims, saying his relationships were “always consensual”.
I am not a fan but at this point he is innocent until proven guilty and YouTube is simply using this situation to not pay him.
In her first full interview, a woman who alleges that the comedian raped her tells The Times why she is talking about it now
When Nadia began her treatment at a medical centre for victims of rape, she struggled to verbalise what had just happened to her.
“I literally couldn’t say the word ‘rape’, ” she reflects. “I couldn’t believe that [could happen] to anyone I know, as silly as that was. But by the end of it, I was like, ‘Oh my god. He raped me.’ ”
It was summer 2012 and her assailant, Nadia claims, was Russell Brand, the actor and comedian, who at that point was at the height of his fame and living in Los Angeles.
Comedian Russell Brand was last night accused of raping a businesswoman and grooming a 16-year-old schoolgirl for sex.
In a string of bombshell allegations, the 48-year-old star was accused of sexual assaults and abusive and predatory behaviour between 2006 and 2013, when he was at the height of his fame.
Four women alleged they were assaulted by Brand, one of whom had previously told The Mail on Sunday of his ‘controlling and manipulative’ behaviour.
The media personality Russell Brand has been accused of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse during a seven-year period at the height of his fame.
The allegations were the result of a joint investigation by the Sunday Times, the Times and Channel 4 Dispatches.
The actor and comedian had already moved to deny what he called “very serious criminal allegations” on Friday night. In a video posted online, Brand said he had received correspondence from a media company and a newspaper detailing the claims; this is standard practice for journalists preparing to report serious allegations about a named entity.

This is the Original Times Expose – Russell Brand accused of rape, sexual assaults and abuse
Kevin Spacey is “a man who does not respect personal boundaries” and gets a thrill from preying on other men, prosecutors told jurors at the start of the actor’s sexual assault trial in London on Friday.
The 63-year-old faces 12 charges, including sexual assault, indecent assault, and causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent. The latter charge carries a maximum punishment of life imprisonment.
The Oscar-winning actor has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Can you remember your first awkward romantic encounter as a teenager? The first time someone touched you flirtatiously? The first time you kissed someone? These are rites of passage that almost every adolescent experiences. And although it may be nerve-wracking for an inexperienced youth to make the first move, it’s how we all learn – boys and girls alike – about boundaries and reading social cues.
Harvey Weinstein appeared Thursday in a Los Angeles court, where he was sentenced to 16 years in prison for raping a woman in 2013.
Judge Lisa B. Lench denied the disgraced movie mogul’s request for a new trial before victim, Jane Doe 1, only identified as an Italian model, gave an impact statement.
Weinstein — who is already serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York for criminal sexual assault and third-degree rape — then spoke to the court to plead for leniency before his sentence was handed down.
MeToo-style accusations against a teen snowballed into exclusion from school, a police interview and a stabbing threat, reveals his father
Last year our 14-year-old son was accused of sexually assaulting girls at his school. I was at home when the phone call came from my son’s private school near London. He was being sent home early. I was told he had been accused of inappropriate touching and was suspended till further notice. It was the start of a 14-month ordeal which included him being excluded from school, threatened with expulsion and reported to the local authority’s child protection service and the police.
