GEORGINA, Ont. — Three people are facing charges in a human trafficking investigation that police say began with a 911 call from an alleged victim.
York regional police say they received a call late on March 12 from a woman who alleged she was being held against her will at an unknown location for the purpose of prostitution.
Officers were able to determine the call came from a town about 75 kilometres north of Toronto.
Investigators say they located the alleged victim in a Georgina, Ont., home, and arrested two men and a boy.
A 26-year-old Richmond Hill, Ont., man is charged with 13 counts, including trafficking in persons, kidnapping, forcible confinement, sexual assault, cocaine trafficking, and possession of property obtained by crime.
A 45-year-old Montreal man and a 17-year-old boy from Georgina are each charged with forcible confinement, sexual assault and trafficking in persons.
