The Saskatoon Police Service Vice and Human Trafficking Unit has arrested six men in connection to an investigation involving sexual services. Last Thursday, September 1st, investigators conducted an operation designed to catch those purchasing sexual services from high risk sex workers. The men, between the ages of 33 and 56, are charged with Communicating for the Purpose of Obtaining for Consideration Sexual Services.

The Police Service reminds the public that communicating to obtain or obtaining sexual services is illegal and those who do so may be contributing to the exploitation of minors, human trafficking, and organized crime.

In a news release, the Police Service says the Vice and Human Trafficking Unit also works to connect victims and survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation within the sex trade to the community resources they need.
