May 10, 2019 | 2:31 PM

Nearly three dozen charges have been laid against a man and woman in Edmonton who are accused of involvement in human trafficking.

Police say they became aware this past February of a 15-year-old girl who was getting into the sex trade.

The teen was apprehended under the Protection of Sexually Exploited Children’s Act, and an investigation revealed she and a 16-year-old girl had been recruited by two adults between last December and March from a central-area home.

A 25-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man were arrested May 1.
