'Of course' sex with complainant was consensual, singer Jacob Hoggard tells sexual assault trial
When asked by a lawyer what allows him to now say so confidently that it was consensual, Hoggart answered, 'Well, she was as into it as I was'
by Marie-Danielle Smith · National PostCanadian musician Jacob Hoggard took the stand in his sexual assault trial on Tuesday, denying that he raped his accuser and painting a dramatically different picture of their encounter eight years ago.
Wearing a dark suit, Hoggard told a jury that he and the complainant in the case had a consensual one-night stand in Kirkland Lake, Ont., after his then-band Hedley performed a show.
