HAILEYBURY, Ont. — The Ontario Crown in northeastern Ontario is continuing with a sexual assault cost towards Hedley frontman Jacob Hoggard.
The Canadian musician was charged in March with sexual assault inflicting bodily hurt in an incident alleged to have taken place on June 25, 2016, in Kirkland Lake, Ont.
A Crown lawyer advised a Haileybury, Ont., courtroom Thursday that the case would proceed with only a sexual assault cost.
Hoggard’s lawyer, Megan Savard, has beforehand stated that her consumer denies the allegation and can plead not responsible.
