**Excerpts from CBC | EM is testifying -**
McLeod got dressed after they had sex and began texting which she found strange while she remained naked in bed. When two men entered the room (Raddysh and Katchouk, who are not facing charges) she was very surprised.
[Later when other men were in the room] She says they had golf clubs and “talked about putting golf balls in my vagina” or she could “take the whole golf club in me.”
“I was feeling scared. I didn’t know where things were going and didn’t know how to handle that kind of a situation,” E.M. tells the court.
“I was scared and confused.”
She says “they were laughing at me … spitting on me at points.
“It seemed like a joke to them … But I was feeling intimidated and not sure how to react.”
E.M. says she was 5-foot-4 and weighed 120 pounds in 2018.
The men “seemed a lot taller, a lot bigger.”
Other men started entering and she had a “weird feeling of just separating from my body,” E.M. says.
Her mind floated to the top corner of the ceiling.
The men started pulling off their pants and some said “suck” and “suck it.” The other men were encouraging each other, she testifies.
She says someone spit on her back, and someone else was slapping her butt as she performed oral sex on three of them at once.
“I shut down and let my body do what it needed to do to be safe. It seemed like the only safe thing to do was give them what they were wanting.”
E.M. describes being numb and on autopilot.
Once she was done performing oral sex, she says, she was lying on the sheet on the ground and “an individual did the splits right over my face.” She didn’t know that was going to happen.
She started toward the bathroom and someone else followed her, and they had sex in the bathroom, she says.
**E.M. says she tried to get dressed and to leave the hotel several times, but each time she did, someone would put their arm around her and tell her to stay, guide her away from the door.**
She felt physically sick, like she wanted to throw up, but couldn’t.
“I felt like I had no option. They kept bringing me back,” E.M. testifies. “I couldn’t think straight with the pressure and everyone in the room.”
At one point, she said someone noticed she was crying and she heard someone saying, “Oh, she’s crying. Don’t let her go.”
At the end of the night, McLeod wanted her to perform oral sex on him, she says. As she did, E.M. says, some men were slapping her butt as hard as they could and she told them to stop because it was hurting so much.
**Before the break, the Crown asked E.M. if anyone checked in with her to see whether she was OK while the sexual acts were taking place.**
**”No, it was only at the end that that was brought up,” she testified.**
WTF
Wow.
My god thats awful
Absolutely despicable.
These guys will rot in hell
Absolutely disgusting. And can we talk about how weird it is to behave this way in front of all your buddies? Bunch of weird ass motherfuckers, all of them.
Honestly it makes me question whether or not I want to even watch hockey anymore knowing that this is the culture the players grew up in.
this is one of the most disgusting and heartbreaking things i’ve read. its so horrible to think they could do that to another human being. my heart goes out to her and i hope she’s surrounded by those who love her right now. mcleod and co are vile and need to face justice
