Ottawa teens accused of human trafficking in court today

Three teenage girls accused of luring others into prostitution will be in an Ottawa courtroom today for the first time in over four months.

Five more alleged victims still need to be heard from. One of them says she was only 15 when she was allegedly held against her will by the three accused and taken to the homes of men where the crown says she was assaulted.

Two of the accused were 15, and the third was 16 when they were arrested.

They’ve pleaded not guilty to charges including human trafficking, sexual assault, abduction and procuring for prostitution.
