OTTAWA – A recent complaint has led to human trafficking charges against two people, including a minor.

Back in September, a young female came forward to police with allegations, and following an investigation, charges were laid.

Jean-François Darilus, 27 of Gatineau, and a female minor face human trafficking-related charges including advertising another person’s sexual services and recruiting a person under the age of 18.

The accused appeared in court Thursday.

Police are concerned there could be more victims and are asking anyone with information to call the Ottawa Police Human Trafficking Unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5005. Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or by downloading the Ottawa Police app.
