A Vancouver-based social media influencer is facing six charges following an investigation into a man suspected of involvement in human trafficking, the BC RCMP says.<\/p>\n
The investigation, which was initiated in May 2025, resulted in charges being laid against 31-year-old Tevin Douglas, including trafficking in persons, procuring a person to provide sexual services, material benefit from trafficking, advertising sexual services, and sexual assault. <\/p>\n
The offences are alleged to have taken place between July and December 2023. The victim is alleged to have been trafficked throughout the Lower Mainland and the Greater Toronto Area.<\/p>\n
Charges were approved Feb. 20, police say.<\/p>\n
Douglas was arrested at his Vancouver home, where a search warrant was then executed, according to the RCMP.<\/p>\n
On Feb. 24, he was released on numerous conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestigators believe there are individuals with additional information who have not yet come forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
