There will not be an appeal in the Hockey Canada trial that found five men not guilty of sexually assaulting a woman in a London hotel room back in 2018. As the CBC's Katie Dubinsky reports, the decision marks the end of a years-long criminal case. In her judgment, acquitting five former world junior hockey players last month, Justice Maria Carousia basically appeal-proofed her decision by finding the complainant in the case not credible and not reliable.

Legal experts say a court of appeal cannot disrupt credibility findings unless they're patently biased or unfair. But those who advocate for survivors of sexual assault say there are, disappointed. Jesse Roger is with London's ANOVA. They say an appeal could have been a way for the legal system to stand up for women and victims of sexual assault. This decision reinforces the message that the legal system is not broken. It is working as it was intended to harm, silence, and revictimize.
