Jacob Hogard’s lawyer continues to cross-examine second plaintiff on Friday

Toronto – A woman who claims to have been raped by Canadian musician Jacob Hogard in a hotel room in Toronto more than five years ago is expected to rise again today in a sexual assault trial.

A woman from Ottawa, the second petitioner in the trial, testified earlier this week that she encountered Hedley’s frontman on the dating app Tinder earlier this week, and later that month he to have sex. I agreed to meet you.

After she joined him at the hotel, Hogard said she raped her anus, vagina, and verbally and choked her at some point thinking she might die.

Defendant lawyers have suggested that after Hogard lost interest in her, she was injured during consensual sex and filed a rape allegation.

Hoggard pleaded not guilty to two sexual assaults and one sexual interference (accused of sexual contact with a person under the age of 16) that caused physical harm.

Another plaintiff, then 16 years old, testified in September 2016 that Hogard had raped her vaginal and verbal and tried to rape her in the anus.

According to a statement of facts agreed, Hogard had sexual encounters with each petitioner on separate occasions in the fall of 2016.
