A British Columbia woman has pleaded guilty to charges of human trafficking, assault, unlawful confinement and sexual exploitation of minors.

Jennifer Stephens was arrested by Langley RCMP officers in December 2023 after an investigation that began in March of that year.

The Mounties issued a statement at the time saying they launched the investigation after a 911 call from a Langley gas station, where a worker B次元官网网址渞eported that an injured, distressed adult female walked in and asked to call police.B次元官网网址�

Police say officers provided the woman with first aid and she directed them to a nearby hotel, leading to an initial assault charge against Stephens.

The following December, police say serious crime investigators arrested Stephens on more than a dozen charges for alleged human trafficking, benefiting from sexual services of a minor, forcible confinement, assault causing bodily harm, uttering threats and advertising sexual services.

Stephens pleaded guilty to several of the charges in a New Westminster, B.C., courtroom on Thursday, with the court hearing the evidence against her included B次元官网网址済raphicB次元官网网址� videos that were sealed by the judge.

Stephens is due back in court on Feb. 6.
