A Fayetteville man has been accused of human trafficking involving two women, including one forced to work as a prostitute after her release from jail in April, arrest documents said.

Yannick Massamba Kinsaka, 27, of the 2200 block of Cattail Circle, was charged Wednesday by the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office with two counts of human trafficking of an adult victim and promoting prostitution, an arrest warrant said. His bail was set at $50,000.

The Sheriff’s Office conducted an undercover anti-prostitution sting by responding to prostitution advertisements on Backpage.com, a classified website that has garnered controversy for its dating section. A deputy arranged to meet one of the victims for sex in exchange for $100. Arrest documents said Kinsaka and two women pulled up in a blue vehicle that appeared to be a taxi at the arranged meeting spot.

Kinsaka and the women were then detained for questioning by the deputy. Throughout the course of the prostitution investigation, arrest documents said the deputy discovered the woman had been forced into prostitution by Kinsaka.

Kinsaka is accused in arrest documents of recruiting one of the women to work for him as a prostitute about a year ago. The woman stopped working for him because she was incarcerated in early 2017. The warrant did not say why she was jailed.

When the woman was released from the Cumberland County Detention Center in April, the arrest documents said Kinsaka forced her to post prostitution advertisements on Backpage.com.

Kinsaka is also accused in arrest documents of assaulting the victim and taking all of her money she earned from prostituting.

The arrest documents did not say how Kinsaka came into contact with the second victim. The warrant said Kinsaka recently recruited the second victim to come work for him.
