‘Freedom Convoy’ figure Pat King set for sentencing in Ottawa courthouse

Jan 16, 2025 | 6:27 AM

OTTAWA — The sentencing hearing for Freedom Convoy organizer Pat King is scheduled to begin today.

In November, a Superior Court judge in Ottawa found King guilty on five counts, including mischief and disobeying a court order.

He was found not guilty on three counts of intimidation and one of obstructing police.

King could be facing as much as a decade in prison, with the Crown pushing for significant time behind bars.

But his defence wants the sentence limited to time served and probation.
