The SPVM is seeking potential victims of Kevin Myrthil

Investigators of the Équipe intégrée de lutte contre le proxénétisme are looking for potential victims of Kevin Myrthil, who was arrested on June 7, 2019, on a Canada-wide arrest warrant for a human trafficking and procurement against a person under 18 years of age, as well as material benefit derived from sexual services. The events occurred in October 2018.

The suspect was also being sought by Edmonton police for similar crimes that took place in February 2019. The investigation showed that there could be more victims in Montréal, but across Canada as well.

Kevin Myrthil, also known as Moneyy, is 26 years old. He has dark skin, is 5' 10'' (177 cm) and weighs 185 lbs (84 kg). He has several tattoos, including on the upper left arm, on the right arm, on his neck (an open mouth with smoke and flames and the word GHOST), on the left side of his forehead (the word MONEYY) and on his right cheek (a star). He would visit hotels and condos in several Canadian cities where he allegedly committed his crimes, namely in Toronto, Winnipeg and Saskatoon.

Anyone who may have been a victim or knows a potential victim of Kevin Myrthil is asked to visit his neighbourhood police station or to dial 9-1-1 to file an official complaint or make a statement.
