The investigation was initiated this past summer following a report from a female victim who alleged being exploited within the sex trade between June 2024 and October 2025. According to police, the suspect had recruited the victim through a mutual friend and subsequently forced her into the sex-trade industry. On November 2, the alleged perpetrator was arrested. As a result of the investigation, Jean Peralta Marseille is now facing a range of charges including Trafficking in Persons, Material Benefit from Sexual Services, Procuring/Exercising Control, Advertising Sexual Services, Withholding or Destroying Identity Documents, and three counts of possession of a Schedule I substance.
