Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard, who is currently awaiting a verdict in his sexual assault trial, has been charged in another alleged sexual assault.
The new charge – which is due back before the court Aug. 4 – could not be reported on at the time due to the risk of tainting the jury hearing the Toronto case. But jurors there have now begun their deliberations, meaning the new charge can be made public. Prosecutors allege he violently and repeatedly raped each complainant in separate incidents, leaving them bleeding, bruised and sore.
Both complainants have testified they cried and said no throughout the encounters. The two women, who said they had never met or spoken with each other, also testified Hoggard spit in their mouths, slapped them and called them “slut” and “whore.”
