He was arrested on January 27.

He appeared in Montreal court on January 28 on eight counts including human trafficking, procuring, sexual assault, threats and use of a weapon.
Klenovski is described as: 5’9” tall and weighing 150 pounds with chestnut hair.
Police are asking anyone who may have been a victim or knows a potential victim to contact their local police station or call 911 to file an official complaint or make a statement.
