Police say the suspect and woman, both of whom did not reside in Canada, met on Facebook in 2013 and started a relationship.

When both of them came to Canada in the spring of 2016, the woman started working at a spa and told by the accused to perform sex acts for clients to earn more money.

The man would also keep surveillance on the woman by telephone even during her work at the spa, police say.

Police say the man would physically assault her if quotas were not met and he would also not allow her into their home.
