Toronto Sex Trafficking Case Dating Back to 2013: Charges Laid, More Victims Possible

Toronto Police have arrested a 51-year-old man and a 56-year-old woman in connection with a sex trafficking investigation that dates back to 2013. The suspects are facing multiple charges, including forcible confinement, uttering threats, and material benefit from sexual services. The investigation, which began last August, revealed that the suspects allegedly trafficked a woman through deception, coercion, and control.

According to the police, the woman was forced to surrender the money she earned to the suspects, who kept most of it for themselves. The suspects allegedly created online ads for the woman, provided her with drugs, and took her to meet clients. Additionally, the suspects used an apartment in the area of Victoria Park and Danforth avenues for the purpose of human trafficking.

The man is facing nine charges, including forcible confinement, material benefit from sexual services, and trafficking in persons. On the other hand, the woman is facing 18 charges, including forcible confinement, uttering threats, sexual assault, and material benefit from sexual services.

Toronto Police are concerned that there may be more victims involved in this case. They have posted images of the suspects on their website in an effort to identify and reach out to any potential victims. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.

The arrests were made on Wednesday in Toronto, and both suspects are currently in custody. The police are working diligently to ensure that justice is served and that any victims of this heinous crime receive the support and assistance they need.

As the investigation continues, Toronto Police are urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities related to human trafficking. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of staying informed and working together to combat such crimes in our communities.
