A northeastern Ontario jury has started deliberating in Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard's sexual assault trial.
Jurors heard the complainant's emotional account of her encounter with Hoggard eight years ago in Kirkland Lake, Ont., and her allegations that he raped, choked, slapped and urinated on her. They heard Hoggard's own dramatically different account of what he characterized as a consensual one-night stand.
Here's a look at what the jury didn't hear:
A Toronto jury found Hoggard guilty of sexual assault causing bodily harm against an Ottawa woman in June 2022, an offence the presiding judge called a "particularly degrading rape."
Hoggard was acquitted of the same charge in connection with a teenage fan. He was also found not guilty of sexual interference, a charge that relates to the sexual touching of someone under 16, in connection with the teen fan when she was 15.
The two complainants in that case alleged they experienced violent rapes that involved slapping, spitting in their mouths, calling them derogatory names and restricting their breathing.
