He is facing a total of 12 charges including assault, forcible confinement, trafficking in person comprehensive, advertising another person's sexual services and material benefit from sexual services.

On the same day, Kristin Hendren, 34, of Ajax was arrested following a search warrant executed in Ajax. She is facing five charges including trafficking in persons by recruiting comprehensive and material benefit from sexual services.

Both accused were scheduled to appear at the Toronto Regional Bail Centre on the same day as the arrests. Investigators believe there may be more alleged victims and are encouraging anyone with information to contact police.
