Two Nova Scotia youths accused of sexual assault and assault with a weapon have both pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Lawyers for the pair were in provincial juvenile court in Truro, N.S., on Monday to enter the pleas.

They also asked for the case to be postponed until June while they consider whether to apply to access more information for their defense.

The case will return to court on June 29, after which court hearing dates will be determined.

Crown prosecutor Patrick Young said he expects the trial to last seven days.

The charges stem from an incident in October 2025 and involve members of a youth hockey team in the Truro area.

Police had initially arrested four youths, but the case is only moving forward with charges against the two, who are now appearing in court.

Police have said they have identified at least three victims, but there could be more.
