Multiple human trafficking victims, dozens of charges: Kingston man charged with 76 offenses

A Kingston man is facing 76 human trafficking related charges after a joint investigation between the OPP and Kingston Police.

Police say Project Shamrock, which started at the beginning of the year, investigated after reports of an individual luring victims through social media.

Ottawa Police Service, Peterborough Police Service and the OPP Digital Forensics were also involved.

Ten victims were found at first, but more were soon added to the list, growing the charges against 38 year-old Michael Mark Haaima.

He is being held in custody, as police search for other victims.

Police also say the Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 1-833-900-1010.
