RECAP | Crown suggests inconsistencies in NHLer Brett Howden’s testimony at trial of ex- world junior players

WARNING: This post contains graphic details.

Howden said he doesn’t recall saying anything to Formenton as he was going to the bathroom with the woman.

Howden remembered seeing them walk toward the bathroom, he said, but he doesn’t remember seeing them shut the door, hearing any sounds from the bathroom or seeing them exiting from it.

He said he doesn’t remember seeing anyone else make physical contact with the woman.

Assistant Crown attorney Cunningham asked Howden to refer to text exchanges he had with former teammate Taylor Raddysh back in 2018, in which he refers to defendant Dillion Dubé spanking the woman on the buttock.

Howden said he does remember that spanking happening, but no details, and that he wanted to leave the room because he felt uncomfortable.
