A Winnipeg spa owner charged with extortion, is now facing charges of human trafficking, and procurement.

Simple Mehta, 39, owner of Simi Magic Spa on St. Anne’s Road is scheduled to face the new charges in court Friday.

Earlier this week, Winnipeg police said a 29-year-old man who had been in an existing business relationship with the owner, was offered a massage.

During the massage, police said the man was sexually assaulted, and discovered he was being recorded with a cell phone.

Police said the victim was then extorted out of thousands of dollars with the threat that the video recording would be released. He then proceeded to contact police immediately after paying the money.

Pam Sandhu, 22, an employee of the spa, is charged with extortion, voyeurism, sexual assault and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.
