Jacob Hoggard Drops Supreme Court Appeal for 2022 Conviction

The former Hedley frontman abandons his appeal after being found not guilty in a separate case.

Hoggard was convicted in 2022 for sexual assault causing bodily harm against an Ottawa woman.
He was found not guilty of sexual assault in a separate case in northeastern Ontario on the same day he withdrew his appeal.
The Supreme Court of Canada confirmed that Hoggard discontinued his application for leave to appeal.
Hoggard started serving a five-year sentence after the Ontario Court of Appeal upheld his conviction.
His request for bail pending the Supreme Court appeal was previously denied by the Appeal Court.
