I didn’t recognize the person,” said a friend who saw the complainant in person the next day. The roommate testified that the complainant showed her significant bruising on her pelvic region and legs. Hoggard’s defence lawyer, Kally Ho, said the friend also told police the complainant was a bit embarrassed and had mixed emotions. She said she didn’t know the specific words used but that the complainant told Hoggard he forced her to do sexual acts. She said she never intended to have sex with Hoggard that day and thought they’d be having lunch in downtown Toronto.
