A man in British Columbia was sentenced to 18 months in jail for human trafficking by forcing the family nanny to work long hours for little, or no pay at all. The man, Franco Orr, was convicted in June. 40 year-old Sarmiento was brought into Canada from Hong Kong on false pretenses by Franco Orr. The Supreme Court Judge said: "there's no prove that Sarmiento was subjected to humiliating or degrading treatment, but did prove that that man profited by paying low wages."
The is a sad news. I am upset by the fact that there are still people in Canada, where we treat everyone with respect, treat others with intolerance. I agree on the trial of Franco. The best and easiest way to stop a crime is by punishing the law breakers. Human trafficking is a big deal, it's very disrespectful and harsh. I don't think the punishment on Franco Orr can be any lighter.
