Another jury dismissal in the sex assault case of five former World Junior hockey players.

It’s the second jury to be discharged in the case involving a woman at a London, Ontario hotel room in 2018.

Before the trial began, the judge dismissed the initial jury, a reason was not given either time.

Michael McLeod, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dube, Carter Hart and Cal Foote are all accused of sexual assault, with McLeod facing a secondary charge.

They all pleaded not-guilty.

A report from the Canadian Press says the trial is now going to continue by Judge alone.

The woman has testified for nine days, the trial began last month.
