A sentencing hearing has begun for Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard, who was found guilty earlier this year of a sexual assault on an Ottawa woman.
A jury found the Hedley frontman guilty of sexual assault causing bodily harm in the 2016 incident, which took place in a Toronto hotel room.
But jurors found him not guilty of the same offence against a teenage fan. Neither woman can be identified under a publication ban.
Hoggard, 38, had pleaded not guilty to two counts of sexual assault causing bodily harm — one related to each complainant — and one count of sexual interference, a charge that refers to the sexual touching of someone under 16.
