Statement on behalf of Jacob Hoggard sent to CBC News
(CBC has removed name of accuser to protect her privacy)
Jacob met ​
​ on Tinder. They agreed to get together to have sex. She travelled
from Ottawa to his hotel in Toronto to be with him for that purpose.
They spent the afternoon together and had consensual sex. She went back to Ottawa
that same day.
Jacob is very sorry that ​
​ is upset. But that does not change the fact that they
made a mutual plan to get together to have sex and they did just that. At no time did
Jacob act badly or do anything without ​
‘​s consent.
