The trial of Richard Mantha, 60, who faces nearly two dozen charges of drugging and raping several women from Calgary's sex trade, has been delayed again.
The trial of Richard Mantha, 60, who faces nearly two dozen charges of drugging and raping several women from Calgary's sex trade, has been delayed again.
Mantha is due back in court Nov. 13 to set a date next year for trial. He has retained new counsel after firing his lawyer again.
One of his alleged victims, whom CTV News is referring to as "Avery," because her real name is protected under a publication ban, says she is frustrated by the delays.
"He is a predator, and he took advantage of people that have addictions," she said.
The trial began in French in January, at the request of Mantha.
By March, he fired his lawyer but agreed to do the remainder of the trial in English.
He suffered a stroke shortly after and underwent a forensic assessment.
