The sentencing session resumes today for Hedley lead singer Jacob Hoggard

Toronto - The sentencing session resumes today for Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard, who was earlier this year convicted of sexual assault against a woman from Ottawa.

The 2016 incident took place in a hotel room in Toronto, and an Ottawa woman told the session last week that what happened will haunt her for the rest of her life.

Hoggard was also charged with sexual assault causing bodily harm in the case of a teenage fan, as well as sexual interference involving the complainant, but was found not guilty of these crimes. The 38-year-old Hedley frontman pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.

Prosecutors and defense lawyers are expected to present memos today regarding what they believe will be an appropriate sentence - the Crown said it will seek a sentence of six to seven years. Hoggard will also be given the chance to address the court, though he is not obligated to do so. Sentencing is expected to be issued on October 20.
