Woman breaks down in tears after days of cross-examination at world junior hockey sex assault trial

A 2nd player misidentified

After the break, Savard continues her cross-examination of E.M. by bringing up another man she misidentified: Jonah Gadjovich, who was also on the 2018 world junior team.

Gadjovich’s name was mistakenly added to an appendix in E.M.’s civil lawsuit in 2022, though he is not accused of participating in the alleged assault.

The complainant tells the court it was the lawyers who drafted her statement of claim that year.

Savard suggests E.M. didn’t take great care with who she was naming.

“I wasn’t intentionally trying to do that,” E.M. says.

Gadjovich, who currently plays for the NHL’s Florida Panthers, does not face any criminal charges in the world juniors case.
