Canada: Ottawa woman accuses singer Jacob Hoggard of rape
Ottawa, Feb 26 (IBNS): Canadian singer Jacob Hoggard has been accused by a woman, who lives in the Canadian capital, of rape, media reports said.
The two have reportedly established connections over a dating app and later interacted on snapchat.
The relationship between the two started in 2016 fall.
The woman told CBC News how she had been raped at a hotel room.
Her identity has not been revealed for the sake of her privacy.
Though the accused knew that she would participate in a sexual activity with the singer in the hotel, she alleged to have been forced into the act.
"Of course, I expected sex. I wasn't going to Toronto to watch TV with someone I barely know. I'm not naive — but he completely crossed the line" she told CBC News.
Rubbishing all the claims made by the woman, Hoggard said the sex was "consensual".
The accused has also said that it asked him to stop but the latter didn't listen to him.
Countering the accused, the woman said: "Of course, I expected sex. I wasn't going to Toronto to watch TV with someone I barely know. I'm not naive — but he completely crossed the line. I didn't want to be that person. And I also thought that because I went there [to see him] nothing would come of it because it was my own fault."
Recounting her experience, she added: "I was clear that I was not interested in it, and I was so uncomfortable, and I started crying, and he just kept telling me that I was being a good girl and petting my head."
