Toronto Police announced the arrest of three men in an investigation that lasted more than six months into human trafficking involving an 18-year-old girl.
Officers said the investigation began more than six months ago on October 25. In a statement on Saturday, a 17-year-old girl was recruited from Edmonton and transported to Toronto to work in sex trafficking once she turned 18 years old.
Officers said the girl was trafficked for sex in Toronto hotels and in a home. The police added that she was also forced to sell drugs.
They said the money she earned throughout this period was handed over.
Jonathan Yogi Walid, 30 years old, from Toronto, was arrested on November 11, 2021, and faces 14 charges, some of which include trafficking individuals under 18 years old and possession of cocaine, fentanyl, and heroin for trafficking.
The day before Walid's arrest, Khaled Mohammed, 28 years old, from Toronto, was arrested and charged with assault causing bodily harm, in addition to two sexual assault charges.
Abdulaziz Mohammed, 32 years old, from Toronto, was arrested on Friday and charged with human trafficking, sexual assault, and causing bodily harm.
The police express their concerns about the possibility of more victims and ask anyone with information to contact the police at 416-808-7474 or anonymously through Stoppers.
