RCMP have charged a 46-year-old man from Brooks with human trafficking and other offences involving a woman over a period of five years.
Police said the investigation began in February of 2025 when a female victim reported she was in a relationship with a man who allegedly forced her to have multiple sexual encounters with random men for money, which she said he orchestrated.
Following an investigation involving the RCMP and members of the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT), on March 25, 2025, a search warrant was executed on a residence in Brooks.
