Days after Diddy was charged with sex trafficking and faces the possibility of life in prison, a Toronto rapper has been hit with human trafficking charges, and no, it's not who you think.
According to CTV Newsrising rapper Lady SB and five others have been taken into custody and charged for their roles in a human trafficking ring that operated out of the greater Toronto area. Along with Lady SB (Sabrina Leite-Moniz), police also arrested Prince Munroe, aka “Casino Barnes,” Jamie Munroe, Jonathan Bennett, and Shuwayne Mitchell. Along with human trafficking, Lady SB, Prince Munroe and Jamie Munroe have been hit with knowingly advertising sex services, assault and other charges.
Both Bennett and Mitchell have been charged with one count of “procurement – exercise of control”.
CTV News states:
Halton Regional Police allege that from September 2019 to September 2024, the defendants coerced, deceived, manipulated and used physical violence and psychological harm to “maintain control, direct influence over victims.” Officers did not say how many victims were involved.
After a five-month joint investigation with multiple agencies across the GTA, police identified five suspects and executed five search warrants Tuesday at various homes in Brampton and Toronto.
As a result, police arrested five suspects and seized a “large sum of money”, a loaded firearm with ammunition and a prohibited magazine, a vehicle and victim identification documents.
The suspects are between 25 and 35 years old and are from Brampton, Mississauga, Shelburne, Ont., and Courtice, Ont.
There's no word on how long Lady SB and her cohorts face behind bars, but if Diddy is facing life in prison, we can only assume they'll be facing a hefty deal behind bars.
