The two accused were found guilty by a jury of human trafficking, procuring, and advertising sexual services.
Augustin was also found guilty of receiving a material benefit from human trafficking and procuring.
The accused exercised significant control over the complainant, forcing her to provide sexual services to numerous men in inhumane conditions and taking all her earnings.
The court sentenced Augustin to 8 years imprisonment (less 11 months credit) and St. Armand to 5 years imprisonment (less 6 months credit), noting the severe impact on the victim and the need for denunciation and deterrence.
