Jacob Hoggard leaves court on May 9, 2022.
The Court of Appeal for Ontario has denied a bail request from disgraced musician Jacob Hoggard while his lawyers mount another appeal of his sexual assault conviction.Disgraced Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard, 40, says he has faced threats while in custody and is being held in solitary confinement. The provincial court of appeal rejected his bail request Friday.
"At this stage of the proceedings, where the applicant's conviction has been unanimously affirmed by this court and it appears unlikely that he will be granted leave to appeal, I am satisfied that the public interest in enforcing the sentence imposed on the applicant outweighs his interest in a second review of his conviction," she wrote.
Hoggard's notice of application for leave to appeal argues the three-judge panel erred in its decision and says there are questions of "national and public importance" at play in the case. "I am placed in the special handling unit because of concerns about my safety resulting from my career as a well-known singer and the media publicity my case has attracted," he said in an affidavit sworn last week.
