The 27-year-old man was arrested and appeared on December 24 at the Gatineau courthouse to face charges of pimping and human trafficking.
Here are the different accusations Mr. Desjardins faces: forcible confinement, having caused a person to offer or provide sexual services for remuneration, having caused a person under eighteen years of age to offer or provide or has exercised control or direction or influence over the movements of such a person who offers or renders sexual services for consideration, knowingly advertises to offer sexual services for compensation, material benefit from the provision of sexual services, sexual assault and battery.
The events would have taken place between January 2024 and December 2024 in Gatineau. The accused could use the nickname “Jayson Orellana” in his exchanges.
Investigators from the West Integrated Anti-Pimping Squad are trying to demonstrate that it could have caused other victims in the Quebec province and elsewhere in the country.
