London police believe there may be additional victims and have announced charges in connection with an investigation that first began in 2017.

According to police, a woman reported in 2017 that she had been pushed into the sex trade “by a man who used both the name ‘Sean’ and ‘Kevin.'”

Police say she later severed her association with him.
