A Saskatoon man has been accused of extorting tenants for sexual favours.
Members of the Saskatoon police vice squad started investigating the man in February after allegations were raised of sexual misconduct at the Northwoods Inn in the 600-block of Idylwyld Drive North.
He was arrested on Monday following an in-depth investigation, which included numerous interviews and consultation with the Crown.
