Toronto Canada March 4 2015 Three people are each facing 10 charges after they allegedly held a 14-year-old girl captive in a hotel and forced her into prostitution.
On Feb. 27, hotel security officers in the Bay St. and Dundas St. W. area responded to a noise complaint, and went to a room where they found a girl who had allegedly been confined there for a week.
The girl’s belongings, including her cell phone, were taken from her and the phone in the hotel room was disabled, say police.
The accused allegedly advertised sexual services online and arranged for the girl to meet with clients. She was forced to perform sexual services and hand over any money she made to her captors, police said.
The same day security officers found the girl, Toronto police’s Sex Crimes Human Trafficking Enforcement Team arrested two men and a woman.
Toronto residents Sage Finestone, 21, and Nicholas Faria, 19, as well as 18-year-old Natasha Robataille, of no fixed address, are each facing 10 charges, including forcible confinement, trafficking a person under 18, advertising another person’s sexual services, as well as a number of other trafficking offences.
The 14-year-old girl is safe at home with her family, but police believe there may be more victims.
Anyone with information is asked to call 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
