A total of 13 men have been arrested and charged after a human trafficking investigation in Niagara Falls, Ont.
Niagara Regional Police say they launched an investigation earlier this month targeting persons using the internet to meet in person with young people believed to be offering sexual services.
Police say they worked with multiple police and law enforcement agencies and arrested 13 men at a Niagara Falls hotel between Jan. 31 and Feb. 3.
The accused whose ages range between 22 and 60 years old are charged with luring a child for the purpose of obtaining sexual services and with obtaining sexual services for consideration from a person under 18 years.
They were also charged with sexual exploitation of a young person.
