Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard has emphatically denied raping a teenager and a young woman nearly six years ago, testifying Tuesday that both encounters were consensual and “passionate.”

Taking the stand in his own defence at his sex assault trial, Hoggard, 37, acknowledged that certain acts alleged to have taken place during the two 2016 encounters - including spitting, slapping and calling the complainants “slut” and “whore” - could have happened because they were among his sexual preferences.

Prosecutors allege that, once at the hotel, Hoggard violently and repeatedly raped the complainants, leaving them bleeding and bruised. One-night stands became commonplace while touring, even when he was in a relationship, the singer said, adding he built up a significant roster of sexual partners in various cities. It was “difficult” to be faithful and easier to “just enjoy the attention,” he said.

He testified that after the show, the complainant ran up to him and jumped into his arms. They took some photos and had a video call with her mom, and were together about 20 minutes, said. The singer agreed with the Crown that he initially made plans to meet the complainant in Toronto to sightsee or “something along those lines,” but that those plans fell through. Prosecutors questioned why he would make plans to spend a day with someone he saw only as a prospective sexual partner and asked whether Hoggard had intended to have sex with the complainant that day.When they did meet up that September, Hoggard testified the plan was for them to have sex.

He testified the second complainant took the train from Ottawa and met him at a hotel in downtown Toronto. His usual room wasn't ready, so they went to a different room first and kissed, he said. He denied forcing a kiss on the complainant, but said she told him to slow down and he indicated she could leave if she wanted to.
