Peel Regional Police and Halton Regional Police launched an investigation in October 2024 after two females who were not known to each other alleged they had been sexually trafficked throughout the Golden Horseshoe area with the traffickers exercising control over aspects of their lives while profiting financially from it.
In the fall of 2024, Marcus Moses (also known as King Marlow or Marlow), 37, was charged with 26 offences related to human trafficking, drug trafficking, and weapons possession after search warrants allegedly led to the seizure of a firearm, drum magazine, and large amounts of ammunition and drugs.
Moses remains in custody and now faces 20 additional charges in relation to new alleged victims coming forward.
Now Ashley Mullings, 31, is charged with 10 offences and Tiana Beckford, 34, faces eight charges.
