  • B01 E06 | Jacob Hoggard | The Rise, Fall and Conviction of a Canadian Music Star
    Oct 14 2026

    Jacob Hoggard was once one of Canada's biggest music stars.

    As the frontman of Hedley, he performed for thousands of fans and became a familiar face in Canadian pop culture. Then allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced in 2018, bringing his career to an abrupt end.

    In 2022, Hoggard was convicted of sexual assault causing bodily harm against an Ottawa woman and sentenced to five years in prison. He was acquitted of other charges, and a separate sexual-assault case ended in an acquittal in 2024.

    His conviction survived an appeal, and he later discontinued his attempt to take the case to the Supreme Court of Canada.

    In 2026, Hoggard was granted day parole but denied full parole, with the Parole Board requiring professional supervision and imposing additional conditions.

    In this episode of Verona Investigates, we examine the rise and fall of Jacob Hoggard, the criminal proceedings that followed, the conviction, the appeals and the latest chapter in his legal story.
