As court wrapped up for the day, Lisa Carnelos, a lawyer for defendant Dillon Dubé, has been questioning Steenbergen, trying to make the same point other defence lawyers made: that E.M. was actively seeking to engage sexually with the players.

Carnelos says the woman was “boldly asking for sex,” to which Steenbergen agrees.

“And that was unforgettable to you,” Carnelos asks.

“Yeah,” Steenbergen says.

He’ll be back testifying on Tuesday.

Sayani refers Steenbergen to the group chat and Hart’s assessment of what happened that evening, that “nobody did anything wrong” and they got consent for anything they did.

Steenbergen agrees with that assessment.
