5 years sentence for Hedley’s singer

The Crown was seeking six to seven years in prison, while Hoggard’s lawyers were pushing for three to four years.

The Crown argued that Hoggard was a risk to the community. On the other hand, a psychiatric report showing that Hoggard’s chances of reoffending were low was offered by the defence.

Hoggard’s victim said she would live with nightmares for the rest of her life.
