An adult male and female are facing numerous charges after attempting to lure an underage female into the sex trade.
In October 2025, members of the Human Trafficking Unit (HTU), with the assistance of the York Regional Police HTU, began an investigation into a male and female who sexually assaulted and attempted to lure a 15-year-old female into the sex trade.
The male suspect approached the victim at a coffee shop in the Jane Street and Avro Road area in Vaughan. The suspect offered the victim a ride home, however instead took the victim to various locations across the GTA. The suspect took the victim’s phone before bringing her to his residence in Oshawa where they were met by the female suspect. The male suspect sexually assaulted the victim and forced her to stay inside the residence. The following day the victim was able to leave and returned home.
On Thursday, October 23, 2025, members of the HTU, with the assistance of the DRPS Robbery Unit and Project Attire Team, executed a search warrant at a residence in the area of Arctic Red Drive and Secreto Drive in Oshawa. Both suspects were located and taken into custody without incident.
