The trafficking involved six children from age 12 to 15 in June 2019.
Aiad-Toss, 53, of Canfield, will be sentenced at 10 a.m. June 6.
He also pleaded guilty to one count of producing child pornography.
Judge Pamela Barker, of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, on Feb. 16 ordered the forfeiture, stating that Aiad-Toss agreed to the forfeiture, which was warranted because the vehicle was used to facilitate four of the offenses.
The entry quotes from the plea agreement in the case states that on June 21, 2019, Aiad-Toss engaged in commercial sex acts with two of the victims in a motel in Fairlawn. On the way there, he stopped at an adult sex toy store and bought sex toys. Surveillance video shows that he entered the store on that date and that the victims were left in the car. They were not old enough to enter the store. Aiad-Toss was using the Mitsubishi Outlander at the time.
He will be sentenced 10 a.m. June 6.
His 2019 superseding indictment alleged he committed the offenses against six children ranging in age from 12 to 15 in June 2019.
Aiad-Toss formerly worked for an outside company as an emergency room doctor at St. Elizabeth Boardman Hospital but was taken off the schedule when the allegations surfaced in 2019.
Among the allegations in his indictment were that Aiad-Toss cocerced a child younger than 14 to “engage in a commercial sex act” on or about June 1, 2019. Other offenses are alleged to have occurred on other dates in June 2019.
Federal investigators said earlier that Ashland police contacted the FBI after the mother of a 13-year-old girl told authorities she and other juveniles met Aiad-Toss on the social media app Snapchat and that he paid them for sex acts.
