Peel Regional Police have made an arrest in connection to a human-trafficking investigation in Mississauga.
Throughout this past February, a 24-year-old woman became embroiled in a sex-trafficking ring that spanned Gatineau, Toronto, and Mississauga.
Over the course of the month, the suspect–34-year-old Ahmad Sbeiti–allegedly took complete control of the victim’s life and began profiting as a result.
On March 6, Sbeiti was arrested in Gatineau, Quebec, after a Canada-wide warrant was issued for him. He’s been charged with:
- Trafficking in Persons
- Receiving Benefit resulting from Trafficking in Persons
- Exercising Control Over a Sex Trade Worker
- Deriving Benefit from Sexual Services
- Advertise Sexual Services
- Assault (x2)
- Utter threats (x2)
Sbeiti appeared at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton for a bail hearing today.
