Toronto Man Faces Human Trafficking Charges Involving Minors
In a separate case, Toronto Police have arrested a 24-year-old man in connection with a human trafficking investigation. Ebenezer Kodua, 24, of Toronto, was taken into custody on February 21 as part of Project Reproach, an initiative aimed at combating the purchase and sale of sexual services from minors.
Allegations and Additional Arrests
It is alleged that Kodua used deception, coercion, and control to procure and attempt to traffic an underage female victim. He has been charged with procuring a person under 18 years, trafficking in persons under 18 years by recruiting, and obtaining sexual services for consideration from a person under 18 years.
