At trial, Mr. Orr received a global sentence of 18 months of jail. In 2015, however, the case was successfully appealed. In [https://www.canlii.org/en/bc/bcca/doc/2015/2015bcca88/2015bcca88.html ''R v Orr'', 2015 BCCA 88], the Court of Appeal for British Columbia set the convictions aside and sent the matter back for trial. The court found certain expert evidence should not have been admitted, as the expert’s qualifications were not properly tested. A new trial was held in June 2016 ([https://www.canlii.org/en/bc/bcsc/doc/2016/2016bcsc2064/2016bcsc2064.html ''R v Orr'', 2016 BCSC 2064]). He was ultimately acquitted for human trafficking and providing false information to the Consulate General of Canada but was convicted of employing an unauthorized foreign national. | At trial, Mr. Orr received a global sentence of 18 months of jail.
