Police have arrested another man in a human trafficking case in which two other men and a woman were arrested earlier this month.

Further investigation of a trafficking case that involved someone under 18 years old led police to 22-year old Joel Jongwe of Niagara Falls, who's been charged with obtaining sexual services for consideration under the age of 18, also sexual assault and interference.

Police say he had a bail hearing yesterday.
