A 45-year-old Brampton man is among four accused of forcing two teenage girls into the sex trade in Toronto.

Toronto Police Service officers laid a total of 31 charges against the four, saying they trafficked the two girls, 15 and 16, and then took the money they were paid over a four-day period.

Officers said one of the victim’s family members called police and an investigation was started by the human trafficking enforcement team.

Police say one girl was recruited through social media in Toronto and coerced into the sex trade. She was taken outside the city, where the second girl was recruited, they said.
