Frost Trial Hears Closing Arguments

NAPANEE, Ont. -- Testimony proves that former NHL agent David Frost was a controlling man who sexually exploited two of his players, a Crown attorney argued Monday.
Assistant Crown attorney Sandy Tse told Justice Geoffrey Griffin he should not believe evidence from the two players -- who testified that alleged three-way sex with Mr. Frost and their former girlfriends did not happen -- because they remain loyal to Mr. Frost, who has coached and mentored them since they were 10 to 12 years old.
Meanwhile, the "richness" of details from the women who alleged they were involved in the sexual activity helps to prove their credibility, Ms. Tse said.
Mr. Frost's lawyer, Marie Henein, said during her closing arguments that there is a lack of evidence with which to convict Mr. Frost.
Although Mr. Frost was an aggressive coach, witnesses have not presented clear evidence his style would have played a role in any alleged three-way incidents, Ms. Henein said.
