Jacob Hoggard from Hedley was found guilty of sexual assault after violently raping an Ottawa woman in the fall of 2016…
The Toronto jury acquitted him of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old fan.
He was also acquitted of one count of sexual interference, an offence that refers to touching someone under 16.
Jacob Hoggard pleaded not guilty to all three charges.
The deliberations lasted about 40 hours before the jury had their decision.
Deliberations lasted more than 40 hours before the jury returned with a decision on Sunday. There is no sentencing date yet… but it would most likely happen over the Summer.
jacob hoggard is finally convicted for rape. it takes a village for an abuser to both have a successful music career and continually assault girls. shame on everyone in the hedley and universal camps for enabling him for years.
