They say an investigation into the sexual exploitation of a 16-year-old girl started in November.
Investigators say they set out to find people who had paid for sexual services from the girl earlier this year.
The officer involved had 11 years of experience with the police service and worked in 51 Division.
The officer has been suspended with pay and will appear in court this month.

Sex trafficking is actually a problem in Toronto that often gets swept under the rug. I'm glad to see that's changing

I bet ex-cop child abusers are really popular in prison.

As per most CBAs with Police Unions he is suspended with pay while they investigate... if he weren't they would file a grievance on his behalf. Once found to be guilty he would be reprimanded accordingly within the bounds of their CBA.
