VANCOUVER — The Crown’s case against Reza Moazami was damning, and, in the end, most of the allegations were proven. For more than two years, the muscular “personal trainer” lived off the avails of prostitution, pimping out girls as young as 14 in the Vancouver area, threatening, drugging and having sex with some of his 11 victims in the process.

Now 32, Moazami was arrested and jailed in 2011, tried in B.C. Supreme Court and convicted on 26 counts of pimping and sexual interference. After lengthy delays — Moazami kept firing his lawyers — he was finally sentenced last year to 23 years in prison.

In August, he was found guilty of attempting to bribe a Crown witness, one of the young women whom he’d exploited. For that, Moazami received an additional three-year prison sentence. He’ll spend a long stretch behind bars — most likely in segregation or in protective custody, because even the most violent criminals despise men who pimp out children.
