Michael McLeod , Alex Formenton , Carter Hart , Dillon Dube and Callan Foote are accused of engaging in non-consensual group sex with a then-20-year-old woman in June 2018 .

The five men pleaded not guilty to sexual assault when the trial began on April 22 .

A mistrial was declared after a juror accused a defence lawyer of making contact with another juror in line for lunch.

Court heard the complainant, known as E.M. , testified she was drunk and not of clear mind.

Only Hart would testify at the trial, while the other players’ lawyers cited evidence and police interviews that were already played in court as part of the reasons why their clients were opting not to testify.

The Crown argued the men were “reckless” for engaging in group sex with E.M. and not seeking her affirmative consent.

Court will resume on July 24 , when Carroccia will deliver her ruling.
