The Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) charged six people after an investigation into human trafficking.
Investigators say the arrests were tied to attempts to arrange meetings for sexual services with a 16-year-old girl during the first week of May.
“The project goal was to identify and arrest offenders seeking sexual services from females under the age of 18,” HRPS said in a release.
