A man who pleaded guilty to producing cannabis despite being a victim of human trafficking as a child has had his conviction overturned.

In May 2017, the-then 17 year old pleaded guilty to the production of cannabis at a Youth Court and was sentenced to a 12 month referral order. But last year a judge at Leicester Crown
