On Friday, a Canadian judge found five professional ice hockey players not guilty of sexual assault charges.

The five players were part of Canada's 2018 World Junior Hockey Championship team and were accused of assaulting a woman in a hotel room while celebrating their victory. The multi-year case exposed serious issues within Hockey Canada, the sport's governing body, and has attracted intense international attention around the definition of consent.

Today, we'll break down what happened, how we got here, and what this verdict means.
