TORONTO — Teenaged girls were actively recruited from local youth shelters to work at a brothel fronting as a massage parlour perched above a downtown pub, police say.
It was this information that led downtown vice cops to raid Toronto Health Spa early Wednesday evening, Det. Frank Giancola said yesterday.
As of yesterday, 10 women between 24 and 32 years old were charged with being inmates of a common bawdy house and an 11th woman was charged with keeping a common bawdy house.
More charges, including procuring a person under 18 to become a prostitute and living on the avails of a minor prostitute, could be laid as the investigation continues.
