Overview

• The trial is taking place in Haileybury, Ontario, where Jacob Hoggard has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault charges.
• The complainant alleges Hoggard raped, choked, slapped, and urinated on her after a concert and after-party in Kirkland Lake eight years ago.
• Both the defence and prosecution agree a sexual encounter occurred, but the prosecution argues it was non-consensual.
• Defence lawyer Megan Savard has accused the complainant of fabricating her story and inconsistencies between her testimony and earlier statements to police.
• The complainant has repeatedly denied the defence's suggestions that she was hoping to have sex with Hoggard and has become visibly emotional during the cross-examination.
