    1. I always thought there was something strange about this character when he was auditioning to become famous. I was not shocked when this story was revealed!!

  1. It always comes down to he said she said, if your partner has a weird sex fetish and you don`t…. leave.

  2. Karla Homolka received only 12 years.
    Mr. Hoggart can’t get any more than a few years, by comparison.

    1. I remember When Karla was released when I was in high school. I can’t believe that somebody who killed someone or assisted in it back in 2010 could be released today. In that perspective, our justice system is awful

  3. He is a bad person! My feeling is they are going to drag this out for distraction! He deserves punishment! The victims deserve a speedy trail to help with their healing! All of his victims should have been for the same trail! He is a ( so sad) a famous musician that took advantage of fans! I do hope his gf leaves him now!

    1. A speedy trial or a fair trial? If speed mattered, then there should be a time limit on accusations by accusers.

    1. Feminism is a range of socio-political movements and ideologies that aim to define and establish the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes………….. lol, but go off king 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  4. It was obvious to even the casual observer that the judge was against him throughout much of the trial. When she told the Ottawa woman more than once that she shouldn’t have to “suffer” when being cross-examined about the recorded phone call, in front of the jury! Not to mention both the judge and the prosecutor are on the committee working to change the legislation in favour of the complainants which seems like another bias. Couldn’t Jacob Hoggard have gotten a judge that wasn’t on that committee? It seems like Judge Roberts was applying her proposed laws in his case, even though they haven’t even been passed yet! And the appeal court sounds even more unjust. We need real law reform in this country so that justice can be served based on evidence.

  5. Our justice system and judges ALL need reworked. Our Ontario Justice system is beyond disgusting. That judge should be FIRED.
