An Ottawa man was acquitted of human trafficking in Sudbury due to lack of evidence, though he remains jailed on other charges.
An Ottawa man has been acquitted of human trafficking charges related to an incident in Sudbury, following a trial at the Sudbury Courthouse.
Ontario Court Justice Caroline Thibault ruled the Crown failed to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt, noting the alleged victim— an independent escort—had access to her phone, was not restrained or threatened, and faced no coercion or financial exploitation beyond $30 in gas money.
The judge found her testimony unreliable on key points and concluded there was no evidence of control, deception, or forced labor.
While cleared of trafficking, the man remains in custody on separate charges of intimidation and breaching a no-contact order.
