Alberta Man Charged with Decades-Old Human Trafficking Offences

RCMP in Cochrane arrest a 47-year-old man on multiple charges, including sexual assault and extortion, after a thorough investigation.

The investigation began in February when a woman reported being trafficked online from 2004 to 2007 by a man she met online.
The accused allegedly posted nude photos of the victim online, facilitating paid sexual services and collecting the money.
Additional victims have come forward, corroborating similar experiences with the accused, leading to multiple charges.
The accused is scheduled to appear in court on November 26, and further charges may be filed as the investigation continues.
Canadian country singer Paul Brandt, an advocate against human trafficking, highlighted the case to raise awareness about the issue's prevalence and impact.
