Following the release of their seventh studio album Cageless (2017) and its accompanying tour, current members of Hedley faced accusations of sexual misconduct with young women over the course of their career. After Hoggard faced additional accusations of sexual assault by two women, the group confirmed they would enter an indefinite hiatus.
On July 23, 2018, Hoggard was charged with one count of Sexual Interference and two counts of Sexual Assault Causing Bodily Harm. On June 5, 2022, Hoggard was convicted of sexually assaulting the Ottawa woman.
On November 8, 2018, former drummer of the band Chris Crippin spoke out against Hoggard's behaviour during his time with the band. Crippin stated he was routinely called a "f*ggot" and was told to "shut the fuck up" when he tried to speak out. In a separate interview in July 2019, Crippin said that Hoggard was "extremely rude" and it wasn't behaviour he wanted to be around.
On October 20, 2022, Hedley frontman Jacob Hoggard was sentenced to 5 years in prison after being found guilty of sexually assaulting an Ottawa woman.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When no one else could ever get through
Holdin' back 'till I come around
Time and time again you wait for me to come in
And did you really look my way?
'Cause no one could of seen this comin'
I would never let you down
If I was runnin' backwards in full time
I can and I will
And you'll see your hero come runnin'
Over and over tonight
And I do wanna love you
If you see me runnin' back
And I do wanna try
Because if fallin' for you girl is crazy
Then I'm going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time
Me, I'm used to being tired and bloody
But you believed that I could be somebody
You put your world on hold for me
Gave away to follow failure through the fire
I need you to know I will
Believe me girl, I'm so tired of runnin'
I just wanna hold your hand
Stare at you like you've got everything I need
And I can so I will
And you'll see your hero come runnin'
Over and over tonight
And I do wanna love you
If you see me runnin' back
And I do wanna try
Because if fallin' for you girl is crazy
Then I'm going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time
And what if I never said to you I was dynamite?
(Dynamite)
And what if I never told you I'm afraid to cry?
(I wanna cry)
What if I never let you down inside?
I'm sorry for the nights I can't remember

Their best song ever

β@Bannock Cop as much as I understand what happened the girl also did consent several times over and over again to sleep with him. He landed himself in hot water by going after Toronto girls, she consented over text, she consented verbally, she consented by accepting a train ticket and walking herself to the train and getting on the train and by entering the hotel on her own all those play a huge role in consent. It was also mentioned that he did ask and explained what he liked and she also consented to that. Honestly, it's not abnormal for people to want to sleep around, people have hormones, everyone has done it. If anything the age and immaturity played a role in it. Otherwise someone else would've slept with him and called it a day. Moreso because he has a bit of a name in Canada and some money that someone wanted to destroy for him. His wife at least is still by his side.
