Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard, who is currently awaiting a verdict in his sexual assault trial, has been charged in another alleged sexual assault.

Hoggard, the frontman for the band Hedley, was charged in March with sexual assault causing bodily harm in an incident alleged to have taken place on June 25, 2016 in Kirkland Lake, Ont.

The case was briefly before a court in nearby Haileybury, Ont., last Thursday — just days after Hoggard took the stand in Toronto, where he is charged with sexually assaulting two women, one of whom was 16 at the time.

The new charge — which is due back before the court Aug. 4 — could not be reported on at the time due to the risk of tainting the jury hearing the Toronto case.
