Warning: Graphic contentA judge has sentenced former Hedley frontman Jacob Hoggard to five years in prison for a “manipulative and particularly degrading” rape. Her identity is covered by a publication ban available in sexual assault cases. At trial, the Ottawa woman testified Hoggard seemed fine until they were alone in the hotel room, where he became a “psychopath.”“He was crazy,” she said. It could take several months if not years before an appeal decision is made. “We recognize that sexual assault can be devastating to the physical and psychological well-being of survivors, their families and their communities,” she said.
