Durham Regional Police have charged a man and a woman after they allegedly assaulted a female and forced her to work in the sex trade.
Officers were first called about an assault around 4:15 p.m. on Sunday, March 3, 2024.
An investigation was launched and two days later officers executed a search warrant at a residence in the Grenfell and Gibb Streets area of Oshawa.
Police say two suspects were taken into custody without incident. Investigators also allegedly seized a large amount of cash and drugs.
Nashon Simmons, 30, and Candice Jeans, 34, both of Oshawa, are facing a number of serious trafficking and drug charges.
Both were held in custody for a bail hearing.
