A Vancouver-based social media influencer is facing six charges in a human-trafficking investigation.
Vancouver police announced charges against 31-year-old Tevin Douglas on Friday (Feb. 27). He faces charges of trafficking in persons, procuring a person to provide sexual services, material benefit from trafficking, material benefit from sexual services, advertising sexual services and sexual assault.
Charges were approved Feb. 20. Douglas was arrested at his Vancouver residence and the home was subsequently searched.
He was released by the courts on numerous conditions on Feb. 24.
The investigation began in May 2025 after a man was suspected of involvement in human trafficking.
Police say it’s alleged the victim was trafficked throughout the Lower Mainland, as well as the Greater Toronto Area.
The offences are alleged to have occurred between July 1 and Dec. 1, 2023.
Insp. Lyndsay O’Ruairc, from the B.C. Counter Human Trafficking Unit, said human trafficking is rarely confined to one single victim, or even a single province.
“Investigators believe there are individuals with additional information who have not yet come forward,” O’Ruairc said.
“Anyone with information is encouraged to contact their local police of jurisdiction. Each province has dedicated human trafficking investigators who understand the experiences of victims and can provide support regardless of whether someone is ready to pursue a criminal investigation. Safety is always the priority.”
