The woman who alleges that Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard sexually assaulted her in June 2016 is set to continue her testimony in court on Wednesday.
Crown prosecutors said Tuesday that jurors could expect to hear the complainant describe a non-consensual encounter that included choking, slapping and name-calling.
Hoggard has pleaded not guilty to a charge of sexual assault in trial, which is being held at a courthouse in Haileybury, a community within Temiskaming Shores in northeastern Ontario.
The Crown and defence agree on some of the circumstances of the case, including that Hoggard was in Kirkland Lake, Ont., for a concert by his band Hedley.
An agreed statement of facts read out in court also established that the band attended a bonfire with fans outside the hotel where they were staying, and that Hoggard and the complainant had a sexual encounter in his hotel room.
The complainant gave brief testimony on Tuesday about the events leading up to the alleged assault.
