Toronto — The jury will continue its fourth day of deliberation in the sexual assault trial of Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard, lead singer of band Hedley.

Hogard, 37, pleaded not guilty to two cases of sexual assault that caused physical harm and one case of sexual interference pointing to the sexual contact of someone under the age of 16.

Crown claims that Hogard raped teenage fans and young Ottawa women violently and repeatedly in separate incidents in the fall of 2016.
