Jacob Hoggard

Jacob Hoggard, the frontman for the Canadian band Hedley, has been found guilty of sexual assault causing bodily harm against an Ottawa woman but acquitted ...

When Zehrs cashier Brenda Bot-Drake visited Kincardine, Ont. almost two years ago and noticed the small municipality of less than 12,000 people celebrating Pride, she asked herself one question. On Sunday, the 27th annual Gutsy Walk took place across the country in support of Crohn’s and Colitis. 1 hr ago 1 hr ago Are you a survivor of sexual assault seeking support? Hoggard's lawyers described him as an insecure, flawed man who sought validation from women through frequent one-night stands while touring, even while in a relationship. He denied choking or restricting the complainants' breathing but said some of the other things they described - including slapping, spitting, name-calling and urination - were among his sexual preferences and therefore could have happened. ” The second complainant also said that on one occasion, Hoggard dragged her by the legs into the bathroom and asked her to urinate on him, then said he would urinate on her, both of which she refused. Both complainants testified they were left bleeding and bruised. They alleged he then violently raped the Ottawa woman in a Toronto hotel in November 2016. She wiped away tears after he returned to his seat.

Hoggard, 37, was facing two counts of sexual assault causing bodily harm and one count of sexual touching of a person under the age of 16.

The Ottawa complainant said she thinks about what happened daily and what she could have done differently. She said the teen complainant could not have had her friend call and pretend to be her manager calling her in for work as a pretence for leaving the hotel room early as she testified, because her cellphone records only show a phone call to her friend made at 1:26 p.m., after the limo driver’s records said the drive home had started. Earlier this year, Hoggard was charged with sexual assault causing bodily harm in relation to a third female complainant who is not part of this trial. The Crown argued the complainant was clear about the plan she focused on to escape, even if she could not recall exact details of how it happened, and that the limo driver had no actual memory of when exactly they left. Her mother said the complainant became withdrawn and could not sleep without a light on. He testified that the encounters were not memorable and that he frequently had casual sex with women as part of his “rock star lifestyle” while touring with Hedley. The Crown argued that the woman’s testimony about the sexual assault was clear. During the four-week trial, the teenage fan, now a woman in her early 20s, testified she had been a huge fan of the Canadian pop-rock band since she was a child. A friend of the Ottawa woman testified she saw bruising on the complainant’s pelvic area. Both complainants testified they said “no” and “stop” as they cried and resisted Hoggard as he pinned them down, slapped them and violently raped them. Hoggard maintained he had a “passionate,” casual sexual encounter with each complainant and that he was sure they were consenting. However, she said he would require a surety and a significant amount of money pledged.

Former Hedley lead singer Jacob Hoggard had pleaded not guilty to two counts of sexual assault causing bodily harm and one of sexual interference.

She wiped tears away from her eyes as he returned to his seat in a dark coloured suit. Both complainants testified they were left bleeding and bruised. Hoggard was found not guilty of sexual interference and sex assault causing bodily harm to a 16 year old.

Back in 2019, Hoggard pleaded not guilty to sexual assault causing bodily harm and sexual interference during a two-day preliminary hearing. Jacob Hoggard, the frontman for Hedley, was in court hearing the verdict on Sunday, June 5, per the Toronto Star. He was found guilty of sexual assault causing bodily harm. A Canadian musician on trial for sexual assault has been found guilty of one charge and has been acquitted in connection with several others.

Un jury a reconnu le chanteur de Hedley, Jacob Hoggard, coupable de viol après six jours de délibérations, dimanche soir, mais l'a acquitté des deux autres ...

Son audience sur la détermination de la peine aura lieu à une date ultérieure. Il est en revanche coupable d'avoir violé la femme adulte qu'il avait rencontrée sur Tinder en novembre 2016. La défense avait précisé que le fait d'avoir des relations sexuelles inusitées ne faisait pas de son client un homme sadique ou un violeur et qu'on ne peut pas condamner, au Canada, un homme pour son comportement cavalier avec les femmes ou pour sa promiscuité sexuelle. Dans ce procès, la défense a toujours soutenu que les relations de son client avec les deux plaignantes avaient bien été consensuelles, qu'il ne les avait pas violées et qu'il n'avait pas touché de façon inappropriée l'adolescente après le concert d'avril 2016 à Toronto. Les questions qu'il a posées à la cour durant ses délibérations laissaient déjà entendre qu'il avait des doutes au sujet du témoignage des deux femmes à la barre des témoins durant les audiences, le mois dernier. Le jury n'a pas tout à fait cru au-delà de tout doute raisonnable les allégations de la Couronne, qui accusait le chanteur d'avoir attiré les deux plaignantes sous de faux prétextes dans sa chambre d'hôtel avec l'intention de les violer.

Former frontman Canadian pop-rock band Hedley Jacob Hoggard was found guilty of sexual assault causing bodily harm against one woman.

In July of 2020, multi-platinum pop-punk band Simple Plan announced original member David Desrosiers was leaving after women came forward on Instagram and Reddit about his predatory and aggressive behaviour. If you or anyone you know needs support, you can reach out to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN). The organization provides free, confidential support to sexual assault victims. The rambunctious singer rose to fame in 2004 on Canadian Idol (which has since been cancelled), landing in the top three before signing with Universal Music Canada for his band Hedley, along with a new lineup. The former singer with a cappella group Moxy Früvous also managed electronic-pop singer Lights. The British Columbia-born Hoggard, 37, will face a new trial for one charge of sexual assault causing bodily harm. The separate assaults occurred in 2016 in his hotel room. Allegations against Hoggard began to surface on social media in early 2018. He disappeared from public view before launching a short-lived podcast. In response, Hoggard issued a public statement on Feb. 18, 2018, which read in part: “I need to be completely clear: I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual behavior in my life. Their seventh and final album, Cageless, was released in 2017. In Canada, their success continued with chart-topping singles, platinum certifications and headlining tours. Ever. However, over the last 13 years, I have behaved in a way that objectified women.” He added, “It’s time for me to change.

Ils ne peuvent non plus se rencontrer dans la chambre des uns ou des autres. Ce verdict concerne une ou des accusations que le jury n'a pas nommées non plus. Ils n'ont droit qu'à un livre. Il ajoute que le jury fait preuve d'une démarche contradictoire, parce qu'il était prêt à démissionner à deux reprises depuis jeudi, mais qu'il a finalement persévéré à la demande de la cour tout en demandant dans le même temps à réentendre trois témoignages et un enregistrement sonore. Il a déjà dégagé un verdict partiel unanime dont la nature n'a pas été révélée, mais la juge lui a demandé pour le moment de ne pas le révéler à la cour. Le jury est dans une impasse depuis jeudi, parce qu'il était incapable d'en arriver à un verdict unanime pour une ou trois accusations qu'il n'a pas identifiées.

When Zehrs cashier Brenda Bot-Drake visited Kincardine, Ont. almost two years ago and noticed the small municipality of less than 12,000 people celebrating Pride, she asked herself one question. Hedley played the Kirkland Lake Homecoming festival on June 24 of that year. She told Hoggard she needed to get stitches in her vagina and she was planning to speak to a lawyer, claims she acknowledged on the stand weren't true. Hoggard testified he recorded the call to protect himself. Hoggard told her they'd had a good time and he looked forward to seeing her again, she said. She testified Hoggard then called the driver and escorted her down, saying he'd had a great time and couldn't wait to see her again. The complainant testified Hoggard told her he loved her, that he saw a future with her and wanted her to bear his children. Her parents exchanged numbers with Hoggard, and the teen began communicating with him directly in April 2016 when she was 15. He denied choking or restricting the complainants' breathing but said some of the other things they described - including slapping, spitting, name-calling and urination - were among his sexual preferences and therefore could have happened. The second complainant also said that on one occasion, Hoggard dragged her by the legs into the bathroom and asked her to urinate on him, then said he would urinate on her, both of which she refused. They alleged he then violently raped the Ottawa woman in a downtown Toronto hotel in November 2016.

They also alleged he groped the teen after a Hedley concert in April 2016, when she was 15. The defence argued that the groping never happened, and that Hoggard had consensual sex with each of the complainants. In a Sunday evening verdict, Hoggard was also found not guilty of groping and raping a teenage fan.

The hearing on bail is scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday morning, with a sentencing hearing expected this summer.

The pilot, which will last for six months, involves 3,300 workers spanning 70 companies, ranging from providers of financial services to a fish-and-chip restaurant.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is monitoring nearly a quarter of a million migrants in a program using GPS ankle monitors, phones or an app known as SmartLINK, according to the agency's latest statistics. 1 hr ago Now a private investigator turned podcaster is finding new clues for her family. She vanished without a trace. XP Mi-Loup has since shut down in Quebec. CTV's W5 spoke with some of the workers about what they went through. The sexual assault trial of Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard turned on one central issue: consent. "It's important for survivors to understand it, because sometimes you can gaslight yourself in these situations," she said. "There is a lag, I think, sometimes between public understanding the application or development of the law," she said. And I think the jury system is not immune from that," said Stephens, who advocates for women's rights in the justice system.

At the crux of the proceedings was a clash about consent, as is often the case in sexual assault trials, say observers.

“Consent is about a conversation… “It’s important for survivors to understand it, because sometimes you can gaslight yourself in these situations,” she said. “The challenge is that we treat consent like a checkbox,” she said. “There is a lag, I think, sometimes between public understanding the application or development of the law,” she said. And I think the jury system is not immune from that,” said Stephens, who advocates for women’s rights in the justice system. Canada has some of the most progressive laws on the books about consent in sexual assault cases, said Stephens. The trouble lies in how the letter of the law is applied, she said.

La défense, de son côté, a plaidé que les relations sexuelles avaient été consensuelles. Farrah Khan, directrice de «Consent Comes First» au Bureau de soutien et d’éducation en matière de violence sexuelle de l’Université métropolitaine de Toronto, croit que le procès Hoggard illustre la façon dont les idées fausses sur le sexe et le consentement persistent à la fois dans la salle d’audience et dans la société. Le chanteur du groupe Hedley a été reconnu coupable, dimanche, d’un chef d’agression sexuelle causant des lésions corporelles contre l’une des deux plaignantes. Au procès de Hoggard, la juge Gillian Roberts, de la Cour supérieure de l’Ontario, a déclaré au jury, citant une décision de la Cour d’appel provinciale, que dans une affaire d’agression sexuelle, le consentement consistait à savoir si la plaignante, «dans son esprit, voulait que les attouchements sexuels aient lieu». La Cour suprême du Canada a rendu depuis quelques années un certain nombre de décisions qui concluent que les tribunaux inférieurs avaient commis une erreur dans leur application de la loi sur les agressions sexuelles, a déclaré Mme Hrick. Ces arrêts permettent de corriger le cap dans un système qui a soumis les plaignantes à un processus inéquitable, selon elle. Le Canada dispose de certaines des lois les plus progressistes en matière de consentement dans les cas d’agression sexuelle, a déclaré Mme Stephens. Le problème réside dans la manière dont on applique la lettre de la loi, selon elle.

"Imprisonment is the most serious sentence under our legal system because it deprives a person of their freedom.

The younger defendant, a former fan of Hedley, says that she was initially groped by Hoggart at one of his concerts in April of 2016. Hoggard was convicted of assaulting an Ottawa woman in a downtown Toronto hotel room in November of 2016, but cleared of the same charge (and the sexual interference charge) from another, younger woman.
