Hedley singer Jacob Hoggard marries on New Year’s Eve in Vancouver

By The Canadian Press

TORONTO — Hedley frontman Jacob Hoggard became a married man on New Year’s Eve, tying the knot to a Canadian actress at a swanky affair.

The 34-year-old singer, who faces sex assault charges in an Ontario court, wed Rebekah Asselstine in Vancouver on Monday.

The nuptials were captured through various photographs and videos posted by guests on social media.

Asselstine is a 28-year-old actress who’s played roles on TV series “Supergirl” and the Hallmark movie “Road to Christmas.”

The celebration comes as Hoggard awaits a preliminary hearing set for July in his sex assault case. He’s facing one count of sexual interference and two counts of sexual assault causing bodily harm.

Hoggard has previously denied engaging in non-consensual sexual behaviour, but has said he acted in a way that objectifies women. The allegations emerged before charges were laid, prompting Hedley to go on an indefinite hiatus.

Hoggard’s lawyer did not respond to a request for comment.
