York Regional Police have charged a 34-year-old man from Vaughan in connection with a sex trafficking investigation.
Officers were initially called to a residence near Steeles Avenue and Bathurst Street on Boxing Day for a wellness check. After doing some digging, police learned that a young girl was being held against her will.
According to investigators, 34-year-old Kishawn Jermaine Brooks met the victim at a shopping mall some time in October and began communicating with her on social media. He then lured the victim to his residence where police say he sexually and physically assaulted her.
Police say Brooks also took pornographic photos of the victim “in order to advertise sexual services and then trafficked her for this purpose.”
Brooks is facing 14 charges, including trafficking a person under the age of 18, making child pornography, assault and uttering threats.
Investigators believe there may be more victims and encourage anyone with information to come forward.
No other details were released.
