During the trial, the court heard the 911 call made by the sobbing woman, who had no idea where she was. His first trial was in April 2019 but it came to a halt within days when a new witness came forward after reading coverage of the trial in The Brantford Expositor. At a second trial, later in 2019, Sousa was found guilty by a jury after just an hour and, in January 2020, sentenced to 10 years in prison by Justice James Ramsey
Sousa, who’s been a permanent resident of Canada since he arrived from Portugal at age five, said he was in imminent danger of being deported, making his sentence “more significant than it would be for a Canadian.” But the Court of Appeal said it’s not certain the existing deportation order will ever be executed.
