Nottawasaga Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have arrested and charged a married couple from Essa Township with human trafficking, just two days after issuing a community safety advisory about the husband, a convicted sex offender.

Police have charged Lauriston Charles Maloney and his wife, Amber-Lee Maloney, the owner/operator of a children’s autism day camp, with various serious criminal offences, the OPP said in a late evening news release on July 19.

The arrests follow the OPP issuing a warning on July 17 that Mr. Maloney, 42, had access to “Beating the Odds” Children’s Camp, which provides day camps and therapy for children with autism.

Mr. Maloney, according to police, is a sex offender with several prior convictions which include “human trafficking of children.”
