Police arrested a 35-year old Hamilton man

Police have interrupted the human trafficking of a woman in Niagara, with the arrest of a Hamilton man.

They began investigating this case in October, discovering she had been trafficked elsewhere in Canada as well.

Yesterday police arrested 35-year old Jermayne Henwood, in Hamilton, laying 9 charges:

  • Trafficking in Persons 
  • Material Benefit from Trafficking in Persons
  • Material Benefit from Sexual Services
  • Advertising Another Person’s Sexual Services 
  • Procuring
  • Withholding Documents 
  • Administer Noxious Substance 
  • Possession of a Schedule 1 Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking 
  • Possession of Property Obtained by Crime

He remains in custody, pending a bail hearing today.

Police believe there could be other victims of Henwood, and if you know of someone who is, call police.
