Update - May 28, 2020: The charge of sexual assault, assault and forcible confinement against Toronto rapper K Money (Kareemallah Muhammad) was withdrawn by the Crown in March 13, 2020.

A young Toronto rap artist is the latest to be charged in an ongoing human trafficking investigation into the confinement and exploitation of two teenagers last November.

The case involves the alleged sexual assault and exploitation of an 18-year-old woman over the course of last November, according to Toronto police. She was allegedly coerced into the sex trade through violent sexual assaults and threats to her and her family made by one of the suspects, but managed to escape and contact police.

Two Brampton men — Deion Cuvilie, 21, and Kristos Shepard, 19 — were arrested in December. They face a total of 27 charges, ranging from trafficking in persons by recruiting to unauthorized possession of a firearm to sexual assault. Police also seized a loaded Norenco .308 calibre rifle and an unspecified quantity of crack cocaine, as well as a 2016 grey Nissan Maxima.

But investigators later found that a 17-year-old girl had also been exploited on the night of November 23, 2017, by a man known to her as “K Money.” He allegedly assaulted, confined, and sexually assaulted her, police said.

“K Money” is the stage name of Kareemallah Muhammad, a 22-year-old rapper, who police allege knows Deion Cuvilie. Several of his videos have been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, while one single — called “Come Outside” — received just north of three million hits on YouTube.

Investigators with Toronto police’s human trafficking unit arrested Muhammad on Sunday.

He faces one count each of assault, sexual assault, forcible confinement, and failure to comply with probation.

He appeared at Old City Hall courthouse on Monday.
