Hedley frontman arrested

2018-07-23 by slut for crescendos | 19 Comments
Jacob Hoggard, frontman of Canadian pop outfit Hedley, has been arrested and charged by Ontario police for the alleged sexual assault of two women. This follows several accusations on Twitter in late February of this year, in particular by a 24-year old female fan claiming she was assaulted by Hoggard in a hotel in Toronto after meeting him on Tinder. Hoggard's lawyer stated that they had "made a mutual plan to get together to have sex and they did just that.''

Police stated in a news release that they fear there may have been additional victims. Hoggard is set to appear in a Toronto court on Thursday.

Who the fuck is this guy, what is this band, and why should I give a damn? I seriously have no clue who they are or what relevance they have to the music scene to be affected by this in any way possible.

Because I'm curious, dammit. Are you going to blame me for being just a little bit curious?

Yeah in Canada, they are played all the fuckin time. The frontman got his fame through Canadian Idol I think and then started a punk rock band from there. Inevitable they became Maroon 5-esque pop.

Their first 2-3 albums had some alright songs on them. But since they dropped the pop-punk entirely they've been unbearable.

They aren't as popular now but late 2000s/early 2010s they were huge here, hadn't heard about em in the past few years except for when the allegations were first made

Surprised some people never heard of them. Radio play for YEARS without end and I can't stand them. Hopefully this gets them off the radio. I read the allegations when they were first announced and they make sense because people have always said he's a huge piece of shit. Back when they first started out a friend went to a show and said this dude put his fucking foot on his head and used him like a brace as if he were a prop. Fuck these guys.

she was a huge canadian idol/hedley fan, went to one of their shows and brought a sign, He saw it and told her and her friends to come back stage afterwards

they went to the after party, he hit on her and her friends, and got her number but she was in a relationship iirc, nothing happened

next time he came through (Toronto) he sent a text that was obviously a group message asking her if she was coming to the show/she was going to be around

she thought he was kinda creepy and did not indulge him again

Your article was updated. Much more serious charge (still not that surprising).

"Police charged him with one count sexual interference and two counts of sexual assault causing bodily harm.

The Criminal Code says sexual interference involves the touching for a sexual purpose, directly or indirectly, of a person under the age of 16 with a part of the body or with an object."
