Michael McLeod lied to London police officer Stephen Newton in November 2018 when he said he had no clue why his former teammates kept showing up to his hotel room during the early-morning hours of June 19, 2018, Crown attorney Meaghan Cunningham said on Wednesday.
Cunningham: “He outright lies to Detective Newton. We know from the texts that he was inviting people for sexual activity..."
(At 2:10 a.m. on June 19, 2018, McLeod sent all of his teammates a message that said, “Whose up for a 3 way quick. 209-mikey.”)
Cunningham: “it is completely a lie when he says he was surprised things took a sexual turn… we see moments where the truth bleeds through and Mr. McLeod reveals, really, he was hosting some kind of group sex party for his teammates.”

A thread on why research skills gained at university level can be life-saving: 18 years ago my mum told me she’d seen a tick on her arm. I was studying for my PhD in York while she was five hours south of me. A week later she said a bulls-eye rash had emerged around the bite.

Gentlemen, stop talking about the bear…
The lived experience of women proves you wrong.
The statistics prove you wrong.
Your own memories of nights out with the boys prove you wrong.
Listen to what women are saying, it’s not that difficult.
