Police arrested the singer in July and charged him with one count of sexual interference and two counts of sexual assault causing bodily harm.
They say the charges relate to three separate incidents involving a woman and a girl under the age of 16 that allegedly occurred in the Toronto area in 2016.
Hoggard has previously denied engaging in non-consensual sexual behaviour, but has said he acted in a way that objectifies women.
