London police are asking for the public's help finding a 28-year-old man wanted for allegedly trafficking an 18-year-old in various cities across the province.
Police launched an investigation in early June into the 18-month long trafficking of a female. According to police, the girl met a man when she was 16-years-old, who began to traffic her in the sex trade in London and other parts of Ontario after she turned 18.
The trafficking is said to have continued for 18 months.
Jordon Hawke is now charged by way of warrant for trafficking a person, uttering death threats, assault, causing unnecessary suffering to an animal, financial/material benefit from trafficking, recruiting for sexual services, advertising another person's sexual services, and communicating with a person for the purpose of obtaining sexual services.
Police continue to search for Hawke, who is described as Black, 6’1” tall, 180 pounds, with short black hair in braids, and a short black beard.
Investigators believe there could be more victims associated with this case.
Anyone with information about where Hawke may be or who suspects someone of being a victim of trafficking is asked to call the London Police Service at 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
