Human-Trafficking-arrests.jpg

Sashauna Wilkins, 23, Keagan Prophete, 19, and Joshua Hamblett, 23, charged in human trafficking investigation, Ja

On Dec. 1, members of the Sex Crimes Human Trafficking Enforcement Team began investigating allegations that a woman and a man met on Tinder and he attempted to bring her into the sex trade.

It was reported that the 23-year-old man then harassed the woman after she refused.

A different woman also reported that she’d met a 19-year-old man on Tinder who lured her into the sex trade. The man allegedly took her to a hotel in Mississauga, took photos of her in various stages of undress and then posted ads for sexual services on the website Leolist.

The man allegedly arranged dates for her and then forced her to give him all her earnings. He also allegedly assaulted her and threatened her family.

The man then introduced the victim to the 23-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman.

The woman then allegedly took more photos of the victim and once again posted ads for sexual services on the same website. She then allegedly set up dates for the victim and forced her to give all her earnings to the two men.

On Dec. 1, police arrested Joshua Hamblett, 23, of Brampton, and Sashauna Wilkins, 23, of Brampton, were arrested. They face multiple charges including trafficking in persons by recruiting, advertising another person’s sexual services and financial/material benefit from trafficking.

On Dec. 18, Keagan Prophete, 19, was arrested in Brampton. He is also facing multiple charges including assault, uttering threats, trafficking in persons by recruiting and financial/material benefit from trafficking

Police have released images of all three suspects, as they are concerned there may be more victims.

“We want to make sure that everyone has access to support services and an exit strategy, regardless of their decision to proceed criminally,” police said in a release.

o the sex trade last year.

Toronto police began investigating in late December and say a 17-year-old girl was trafficked by a 26-year-old man throughout the Greater Toronto Area.

They say she was allegedly forced to abide by the rules he imposed on her and he used intimidation and fear to control her actions and movements. He also produced a firearm to ensure she complied with his demands and she was forced to turn over her earnings to him.

On Dec. 28, the man was arrested in a joint effort by Toronto and Peel police forces.

Kristan Peter Miller was charged with 13 counts including forcible confinement, procuring persons under 18 and trafficking in persons under 18.

He appeared in a Toronto courtroom on Friday. Anyone with further information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.

Police say they are concerned there may be more alleged victims and are encouraging any and all affected individuals to come forward and report human trafficking to police.

“We want to make sure that everyone has access to support services and an exit strategy, regardless of their decision to proceed criminally,” they said in a release.

if you’re looking to rent an apartment in Toronto this year, one report says get ready to pay more than the previous tenant.

The national rent report from rentals.ca and Bullpen Research suggests rental rates will jump 11 per cent in the city this year, compared to a nationwide average increase of 6 per cent.

The average price of renting a two-bedroom apartment could jump to over $2600 a month, fueled in large part by a supply shortfall — despite the numerous condos you see being built as you drive into the downtown core.

Bullpen Research President Ben Myers says those appearances are deceiving.

“It’s just more visual. Obviously when you drive down the Gardiner, you see all those units being completed,” he says. “But there’s a lot of areas of Toronto where people want to live and there just isn’t the supply of rental units in those markets.”

In addition to a shortage of supply, Myers says a number of steps taken to cool the housing market have had the unintended consequence of increased rental prices.

The new mortgage stress test is also part of what is driving rental prices up, by setting off a domino effect.

“The B-20 change requires people to qualify at 2 per cent higher than their contracted rate. That’s reducing mortgage credit availability and is making people rent for longer,” he says — which in turn increases demand for rental space. In addition, existing tenants are staying put instead of paying more to move

With low supply and low turnover, Myers says the rental market is now seeing bidding wars.

“Rental units going for 105 or 107 per cent of the list price — people are actually bidding on it. People are having to put together really detailed packages for potential landlords to see how great a tenant they are,” he says.

Myers says 25,000 to 30,000 more units are needed to meet current demand, though he doesn’t expect to see that happen.

The Ontario government blamed inaction by the previous government for the increases in rent and say the steps they have taken to exempt new units from rent control rules will help keep housing costs in check.

“Exempting new units from rent control will encourage large developers and small landlords to create more rental housings,” said Julie O’Driscoll, Director of Communications.

She adds they have also started broad public consultation so Ontario residents can submit ideas on how to build more hosing and reduce housing costs.

You can complete a survey or submit your ideas on the Ontario website.
