Oi Long Nicole Huen and Human Trafficking

Franco Orr: THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jonathan Hayward VANCOUVER - An appeal court has ordered a new trial for a British Columbia man who is alleged to have lied to get his Filipino nanny into Canada and then treated her like a slave, according to Brandon Sun. Franco Orr was convicted in 2013 and sentenced to 18 months in jail for human trafficking, illegally employing a foreign national and lying to immigration officials. A B.C. man convicted of human trafficking over the alleged treatment of his Filipino nanny has been awarded a new trial after winning an appeal. He was charged along with his wife, Oi Long Nicole Huen, who was acquitted after the couple jury trial. Yvon Dandurand was called by the Crown to testify about "victimology," a discipline focusing on how victims react to situations they face, and was asked a series of hypothetical questions in front of the jury. Orr appealed, and the province top court sided with him Tuesday on one of four grounds — that the trial judge was wrong to allow the testimony of an expert witness — and ordered a new trial.
