Investigation leads to human trafficking charges

Two men are facing human trafficking charges after an investigation by the Windsor Police Service.

On November 3, a 27-year-old woman reported she was forced to work in the sex trade and was sexually exploited over a three-day period.

After a month long investigation, one suspect was arrested in Barrie, Ontario and another suspect was arrested in Windsor on Cameron Avenue.

A 23-year-old and 27-year-old are facing charges of human trafficking, procuring a person to provide sexual services, financial/material benefit from trafficking a person, material benefit from sexual services, and advertising another person's sexual services.

The 23-year-old is also facing charges of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Windsor Police Human Trafficking Unit at 519-255-6700, ext. 4830.
