In her closing arguments at the singer's sex assault trial, Crown attorney Jill Witkin noted Hoggard testified he was confident both complainants consented to their sexual encounters in the fall of 2016, but couldn't say how they expressed that consent and had no detailed memories of what happened.
Defence lawyer Megan Savard painted her client as an insecure, attention-starved rock star who routinely succumbed to the temptation and easy validation of one-night stands over more than a decade of touring with the band Hedley, even when in a relationship.“He did not take delight in their struggles, he is not a monster, he is a flawed human being,” she said in her final pitch to the jury.
Savard argued the complainants made up the rape allegations because they were “upset and embarrassed by the way Mr. Hoggard dismissed them” and the stigma of admitting they regretted a consensual encounter was “too painful.” Both women testified they cried and said no throughout the encounters, which took place in Toronto-area hotels.
Just seems like 2 ppl who just want money because he didn't want to be in a committed relationship with either of them. So making up lies
May be like Justin Trudeau she just had experienced it differently
Try SexualPredator he knew when she turned 16 so it would be legal. Does he hear himself?
