Jacob Hoggard will remain behind bars while he tries to appeal his sexual assault conviction at Canada’s top court, a justice with Ontario’s Appeal Court ruled Friday, calling the musician’s attempt unlikely to succeed.

Justice Jill Copeland heard arguments at a bail hearing for Hoggard earlier this week, shortly after the Hedley frontman began serving his five-year sentence.
