Hoggard’s wife, who has also pledged $200,000 for his bail, is one of two sureties selected to monitor his compliance. During trial, prosecutors alleged Hoggard violently and repeatedly raped the two complainants in separate incidents in the fall of 2016. The two women testified Hoggard slapped them, spit in their mouths and called them derogatory names during the encounters, which took place in Toronto-area hotels. Both complainants testified they were bleeding, bruised and sore afterwards. Hoggard took the stand in his own defence, telling jurors he had consensual, “passionate” sex with the complainants.
