With Jacob Hoggard sentenced for sexual assault, what are the larger implications?

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Alyshah Hasham, crime and court reporter Jacob Hoggard, the former lead singer of the band Hedley, has been sentenced to five years in prison for sexual assault. The Canadian rock star was sentenced by a Superior Court justice on Thursday, after a jury found him guilty following a trial that began last May. The case has opened up an important conversation around consent and how it is perceived by the justice system and our society. The sentencing of Hoggard may have larger implications in a country where only one in 15 reported cases of sexual assault end with a conviction. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Paulo Marques and Brian Bradley.
