>After a four-month investigation, Toronto police have charged the lead singer for Canadian pop-rock band Hedley for alleged sexual assault.

>Jacob Hoggard, 34 turned himself in to police with his lawyer on Monday morning. 

>Toronto police released a statement saying Hoggard has been charged with two counts of sexual assault causing bodily harm and one count of sexual interference. Under the Criminal Code, the charge of sexual interference is only laid if the alleged victim is under the age of 16.

>Hoggard is scheduled to appear in court Thursday. Police are concerned there may be more victims, according to the statement.

>Hoggard is accused of sexually assaulting two women on separate occasions while in Toronto. One of the alleged victims is the 24-year old Ottawa woman who first came forward to the CBC News with details of her alleged rape earlier this year.

>CBC is not identifying the Ottawa woman to protect her privacy and because revealing her identity could make her a target on social media.
