A 25-year-old woman was flown to Canada from Barbados and allegedly forced to work in the sex trade, police say.

In a press release issued Thursday, police said, in late 2017, a man provided a woman with travel documents and a plane ticket from Barbados to Toronto. The woman was then allegedly forced to work as an escort, providing sexual services for money.

Police say the man took her passport and kept it from her. He then allegedly took photos of her undressed and posted them on backpage.com, a website for advertising sexual services that was shut down in April.

On Wednesday, the man was arrested by the Human Trafficking Enforcement Team.
