A judge has declared a mistrial in the sexual-assault trial of five former members of Canada’s 2018 world junior hockey team, just two days into the proceedings.

Ontario Superior Court Justice Maria Carroccia has dismissed the 14-member jury, though the reasons for the mistrial are protected under a publication ban.

On Wednesday, the first day of the trial, Justice Carroccia adjourned proceedings early. After the noon break, she called the jurors back briefly and told them: “Something happened over the lunch hour that I need to think about and to discuss with the lawyers.”

She asked the jurors not to discuss the issue.
