Lumsden told a virtual court he was asked in November 2018 to go to the principal’s office to help identify players from one of the school’s teams in a video of an incident that took place that month.He testified he did not recognize the victim, but did manage to identify some players. None of the people he identified in court were the accused.
Under cross-examination, Lumsden, who also teaches accounting at the school, denied previously hearing about or seeing a video or image of an incident in October in which a player was sexually assaulted. The complainant did not mention the accused when discussing the October incident, but alleged the teen held back the arms of the victim in the November assault.
