Prince George, B.C. – Two people are facing multiple charges following a police investigation into a report of human trafficking and forcible confinement.

Prince George RCMP Corporal Craig Douglass says an investigation began two days ago into the reported human trafficking and forcible confinement of a woman at a local motel located in the 3600 block of Highway 97 in the Hart.

He says it’s believed that the victim was held against her will for a number of days and forced into the sex trade.

Douglass says at around 5 p.m. that day a 33-year-old male and a 34-year-old female were arrested without incident.

Both were held in police custody and are expected to appear in court today.

As a result of the arrests, the following charges have been approved against 33-year-old Prince George man Jody Lee Burns:

• Trafficking in persons
• Forcible confinement
• Sexual assault with a firearm
• Possession of firearm while prohibited
• Possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking

The following charges have also been approved against 34-year-old Prince George woman Jennifer Dawn Comadina:

• Trafficking in persons
• Forcible confinement
• Sexual assault with a firearm

Douglass says the investigation is just beginning and notes police are looking into the possibility that there may have been other victims.
