New court documents reveal one player facing additional charge

New: Court documents obtained by @TSN_Sports and @CTVNationalNews confirm Dillon Dube, Alex Formenton, Carter Hart, Michael McLeod and Cal Foote have all been charged with s***** assault.

"Dillon Dube on or about the 19th day of June in the year 2018 at the City of London in the Southwest Region did commit a s***** assault on E.M., contrary to Section 271 of the Criminal Code of Canada."

The document repeats the same allegation against each of the other four players and says McLeod is also facing an additional charge of s***** assault for "being a party to the offence."

All of the players have said they will plead not guilty and the allegations against them have not been tested in court.
The players were arrested on Jan. 26 and their next appearance date is Feb. 5, according to the documents.

In section 21 of the Criminal Code of Canada, the term «party to an offence» refers to a person who is directly involved in the commission of a criminal offence. This can include the person who actually carried out the offence, as well as anyone who aided, abetted, counselled, or procured the commission of the offence.
