Remembering the standard of proof in criminal cases, this will end up being messy if it's clear that the acts were committed and it comes down to consent/coerced consent/lack of capacity to consent. These guys could be acquitted on the criminal standard, but at the same time clearly lacking in judgment and behaviour in the eyes of many. Then what does the league, their teams, and the PA do?

I expect that’s exactly what it will come down to. Can the Crown prove that the accused knew the victim was incapable of giving consent. It will be very messy.
