Well, I can think of two guys who were long-time members of this board, who got caught up in a sting operation against an Asian escort agency. They were not involved in the business, they were just big users of these agencies, and so their numbers showed up in their logs a lot. The Asian place was charged with human trafficking, and these guys were charged with being accessories. Neither got jail time, but were fined heavily.
I can understand being charged under Bill C36 on being an accessory, I don’t understand the crown even requesting a fine instead of jail time which implies that rich guys who can afford to pay the fine can pay to fuck, like a user fee of some sort.
Oh, I do know how much of a fine they were given, and whether or not they have a criminal record now. But as mentioned before, I won't reveal any of those details.
I had the same experience with an agency that operates out of markham. Might be the same agency? A cop pulled up to the entrance doors and was waiting around there for a good 5-10min while I was waiting in my car for the sp to call me up. When I saw the cop I left the parking lot and messaged the booker that there was a cop out front and got a response saying "don't worry about it" but I was still freaking out. Eventually the cop left and i disnt go inside until they did but when I finished my session I saw the same cop car at the back of the parking lot. No idea what they were doing there but was kind of paranoid that they were doing surveillance of the hotel and keeping track of who comes and goes
