After repeated delays, a British Columbia man convicted of human trafficking was back in court for sentencing on Monday.
Reza Moazami was originally scheduled to be sentenced last December, but proceedings were set back a number of times as he continually changed lawyers.
In B.C.’s first human-trafficking conviction, Moazami was found guilty in September 2014 of luring nearly a dozen young girls into prostitution
In September, he fired his most recent legal team, catching them off guard at the beginning of what was to have been his final sentencing hearing.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Catherine Bruce rebuked Moazami at that hearing, warning him she would grant no further delays beyond this week’s hearing.
