Canada-wide warrant issued for man suspected of sex trafficking 12-year-old girl | Globalnews.ca
A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for a 28-year-old man who was allegedly involved in sex trafficking a 12-year-old girl.
In a news release Thursday, the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team's human trafficking and counter exploitation unit said the suspect is known to travel between Edmonton, Calgary, Fort McMurray, Vancouver, Kelowna, and the B.C. lower mainland.
The investigation began in May 2022 and involved Fort McMurray and Kelowna RCMP, and Vancouver police.
The child was rescued and has received support and specialized care resources, ALERT said. She has since been reunited with her mother.
“Our primary concern is supporting this child victim and exhausting every measure to ensure she is protected from her alleged perpetrator,” Staff Sgt. Frank Page said.
“We need to get him in custody and we need the public's help in locating him.”
