The woman who filed a lawsuit against Hockey Canada over an alleged group sexual assault recently passed a polygraph examination, her lawyer said Tuesday.
A statement released Tuesday by Robert Talach of Beckett Personal Injury Lawyers said that the woman “successfully passed that ‘lie-detector test’ with a rating of ‘truthful.”‘
The London-based law firm released the statement to summarize her efforts following the alleged group assault, and “to set the record straight.” The complainant was seeking more than $3.5 million in damages from Hockey Canada, the Canadian Hockey League and the unnamed players.Hockey Canada’s handling of the case led to federal hearings, and the International Ice Hockey Federation said in a statement to The Canadian Press it has launched an inquiry into Hockey Canada’s actions.“These are deeply troubling incidents that the IIHF takes extremely seriously,” the IIHF said in a statement.
“After a period of reflection she next pursued the matter through the formality of the civil justice system in the form of a lawsuit,” her lawyer’s statement said.
