Two people have been charged after police uncovered a plan to start a daycare in an apartment that doubled as a brothel that employed a 16-year-old.
Officers found online ads for prostitution and child care services at the same residence in a highrise near Kennedy Rd. and Eglinton Ave. after a complaint was called in, said Const. Tony Vella.
A 27-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman were arrested last Thursday after police executed a search warrant of their home and discovered a 16-year-old girl working there.
Police believe she had been forced to sell her sexual services for several months.
“When officers came across the fact that there was a daycare being run at the same apartment as the prostitution, they were very concerned,” Vella said.
Police do not believe any children attended the advertised daycare.
“We managed to intervene before that,” Vella said.
Loreto Munar and Mary-Jean Tatlonghari, also known as Christine Munar or Lisa Lee, face 11 charges, including living off the avails of prostitution, keeping a common bawdy-house, permitting sexual activity and corrupting children. Tatlonghari has also been charged with exercising control.
The two accused appeared in court last Friday and were remanded.
