Both Amber and Lauriston Maloney were back in court today.
Amber Maloney, the Ivy-area child-care provider charged earlier this month with human trafficking, made a brief in-person appearance in bail court Wednesday morning, where her case was adjourned until Aug. 9.
The 36-year-old woman was charged Wednesday, July 19, just days after provincial police alerted the public that her husband, Lauriston Maloney, was a convicted sex offender listed on the national sex offender registry, who was living at Beating the Odds Children's Camp in Essa Township, west of Barrie, which she owned and operated.
She is charged with trafficking in a person, receiving material benefit resulting from trafficking a person, administering a noxious substance, fraud over $5,000, and uttering a forged document.
Lauriston Maloney, 42, also appeared before a judge today via video conference from Central North Correctional Centre in Penetanguishene. He is slated to return on Thursday, Aug. 3 via video remand.
He has been charged with two counts of assault, trafficking in a person, receiving material benefit resulting from trafficking a person, and forcible confinement.
None of the allegations against either of the accused have been tested in court.
