Two 18 year old men face human trafficking charges, following an investigation by Renfrew OPP into allegations of trying to lure a teenaged girl into prostitution.

Provincial police report a complaint was made to Renfrew OPP in April, about an incident in March.

Liam Coyne, 18, of Renfrew, and Logan O'Brien,18, of Ottawa are each charged with attempting to procure sexual services of a person under 18-years old.

O'Brien faces an additional charge of breaking a probation order.

Police say the accused have been released under conditions, and are slated to return to court May 30, 2018.
