Lawyers for Jacob Hoggard are suggesting a young woman expressed “sexual interest” in the musician in messages before an incident in which she alleges he violently raped her.
The woman, who is one of two complainants in Hoggard’s sex assault trial, is being cross-examined by the defence in a downtown Toronto courtroom.
