Hedley Frontman Charged

The Frontman for Canadian rock group Hedley has been arrested and charged with sexual assault.

Toronto Police say 34 year old Jacob Hoggard of Vancouver was arrested this afternoon.

Hoggard faces two charges of sexual assault causing bodily harm and one charge of sexual interference.

Toronto police say the alleged incidents occured on three different dates in 2016 and involved two different women.

Hoggard will appear in court Thursday.

Rumours of the incidents surface earlier this year, resulting in Hedley being dropped from the Juno awards show. The band was also dropped by its management and PR teams.
