Case of Hedley frontman Jacob Hoggard put over

-

The case of Hedley frontman Jacob Hoggard, who faces three sex-related charges, has been put over for three weeks.

Hoggard, 34, was not present at a brief hearing in a Toronto courtroom on Wednesday where the next date in his case was set for Nov. 28.

The prosecutio­n says they have now handed over most of the disclosure in the case.

Police arrested the singer in July and charged him with one count of sexual interferen­ce

and two counts of sexual assault causing bodily harm.

They say the charges relate to three separate incidents involving a woman and a girl under the age of 16 that allegedly occurred in the Toronto area in 2016.

Hoggard has previously denied engaging in non-consensual sexual behaviour, but has said he acted in a way that objectifie­s women.

Allegation­s of sexual misconduct emerged before the charges were laid, which prompted Hedley to go on indefinite hiatus.
