5名前加拿大曲棍球运动员因性攻击被判无罪, Five ex-Canadian hockey players acquitted of sexual assault; NHL bans them despite ruling.

在安大略省,5名前加拿大初级曲棍球运动员被宣告无罪,罪名是性侵犯,法官认为申诉人的证词不可信。 Five former Canadian junior hockey players were acquitted of sexual assault charges in Ontario, with the judge finding the complainant's testimony not credible. 尽管被宣告无罪,但NHL宣布这些球员在等待进一步审查之前不符合资格,这项决定受到NHL球员协会的反对。 Despite the acquittal, the NHL has declared the players ineligible pending further review, a decision opposed by the NHL Players' Association. 该案始于2018年,但在2021年才导致指控,也暴露出加拿大曲棍球手在不知情的情况下解决了问题。 The case, which began in 2018 but only led to charges in 2021, also revealed a settlement by Hockey Canada without the players' knowledge.
