Hockey Canada alleged rape victim was recorded claiming sex act was consensual
When Hockey Canada settled a case with Jane Doe, they likely believed that was the end of this case. The victim in this case claimed that she'd been the victim of a gang rape at the hands of 8 members of the World Juniors team. But according to the Globe and Mail there has been some released footage that contradicts those claims.
The first video clip shown to The Globe is six seconds long and was recorded at 3:25 a.m. on June 19, 2018, the lawyers said. It shows a woman from the neck up. A male voice can be heard saying «You're ok with this?»
«I'm ok with this,» the woman says.
The second clip is 12 seconds long and taken about an hour later at 4:26 a.m. The same woman appears to be covering herself with a towel in a hotel room, with a closed door to the hallway visible in the background.
«Are you recording me?» she asks. «Ok, good. It was all consensual. You are so paranoid, holy. I enjoyed it, it was fine. It was all consensual. I am so sober, that's why I can't do this right now.»

While this video doesn't necessarily absolve the 8 men of any wrongdoing it definitely does create some doubt about the claims made. In her initial claim the victim does claim that she was too intoxicated to offer consent, while also saying she feared for her safety.
The full investigation into this will continue as the government pushes for Hockey Canada to complete a full investigation into these allegations.
