The Équipe intégrée de lutte contre le proxénétisme is looking for potential victims of Sergei Klenovski

The Équipe intégrée de lutte contre le proxénétisme (EILP) proceeded with the arrest of Sergei Klenovski on Monday, January 27 for engaging in the sexual exploitation of a 20-year-old woman. The investigators have reasons to believe this pimp might have other victims in Québec and British Columbia.

Klenovski appeared on Tuesday at the Montréal Courthouse to answer eight counts, including human trafficking, procuring, sexual assault, threats and use of a weapon. Sergei Klenovski is 24 years old. He is 1.75 m (5’9’’) tall, weighs 68 kg (150 lbs) and has chestnut hair.

Anyone who may have been a victim or knows a potential victim of Sergei Klenovski is asked to visit their local police station or call 9-1-1 to file an official complaint or make a statement.

The Équipe intégrée de lutte contre le proxénétisme is a joint investigation unit of police forces working together to fight networks involved in the procurement and human trafficking for sexual exploitation at the interregional, interprovincial and international levels. The Direction des enquêtes criminelles of the Sûreté du Québec coordinates the EILP and the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal ensures its tactical operation. The squad brings together investigators from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Service de police de la Ville de Québec, Service de police de la Ville de Laval, Service de police de la Ville de Gatineau and Service de police de l’agglomération de Longueuil.
