The court process that may offer insight into what happened has been slow, with nearly a dozen appearances by Forman and very little information being released.
Most recently, the court heard that Forman has changed legal counsel and the case that was supposed to go to pre-trial before the end of the year will be put off until 2019.
Forman, as has become common in each court appearance, appeared via video with his head bowed, saying very little.
Clara Forman was originally from Mexico and worked at GoodLife Fitness, she wrote on Facebook that she met Forman 12 years ago.
