Duston Wicker, who recently admitted to torturing his pet cat, is now disputing evidence brought against him in court.

Wicker earlier pleaded guilty to a charge of animal cruelty, for which he was set to be sentenced in provincial court yesterday.

But sentencing has been delayed after Wicker disagreed with some of the facts in the pre-sentence report, said Crown prosecutor Gordon Haight.

"There's a dispute over facts that he pled guilty to," Haight said outside court.

Wicker was charged after he abused his cat so badly it had to be euthanized by Calgary Humane Society staff.

Wicker will return to court tomorrow to set a date for a hearing of the evidence.
