York Regional Police are releasing more details on Friday on a child sex trafficking investigation that resulted in the arrest of more than 100 men accused of “purchasing prostituted children.”

Police said in a release Thursday they had completed a multi-year operation.  

Most of the arrests were in York Region, but some of the accused come from across the Greater Toronto Area and others from outside of Ontario, police said.

A news conference being held at York Regional Police headquarters in Aurora.

Const. Andy Pattenden credited investigators for their work.

“They’re passionate about it. The team in our vice unit is second to none and they’ve been recognized for their efforts,” Pattenden said. “It’s challenging work and you’re going to see some of the results of that work tomorrow.”

A grant from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services helped fund the investigation, police said.

  1. Congratulations on a job well done over tiring times and extended hours of good work. Wish you would post the names of ALL those arrested in all papers and news media outlets. Might give those others who have slipped through the cracks of your investigation something to think about and maybe stop them from those disgusting atrocities they are involved in doing to innocent children….
