Simcoe County human trafficking suspect seeks bail

A woman charged alongside several men in a human and drug trafficking investigation in Simcoe County is hoping to be released on bail.

Jashyna Singh was arrested after police raided an Innisfil residence last November as part of a human trafficking investigation dubbed Project Chameleon.

The Brampton woman is one of seven people arrested in connection with the case and has been behind bars since her arrest.

Police alleged officers seized $30,000 worth of drugs and removed from the residence three women who they said were being held to provide sexual services.

Singh is accused of having profited materially from the trafficking of women. She is also charged with possession of controlled substances.

Several of his co-accused were released on bail.

Court-imposed publication bans prevent the disclosure of any evidence.

Singh is expected to return to court later this week to possibly set a date for a bail hearing. The allegations against Singh have not been tested in court.
