McLeod is facing an additional charge of being a party to the offence of sexual assault.
All five players are expected to plead not guilty. A jury trial is set to begin in London on April 22 before Superior Court Justice Maria Carroccia.
None of the evidence or arguments presented in next week’s hearings — or a stretch of similar hearings held last fall — can be reported at this time due to a publication ban.
An initial police investigation was closed without charges in 2019 and then reopened three years later. Police have given little information on the investigations but said they were able to lay charges after collecting new evidence.
