Police in Montreal say they have dismantled a juvenile prostitution ring that offered sexual services from children as young as 12 through a local escort service.
Six men between the ages of 21 and 47 were arrested in the course of the investigation, the most recent arrest coming on Tuesday.
Robert Mansueto of the Montreal police force.
The suspects face a total of 120 charges including pimping, sexual assault and forcible confinement.
Most of the 12 victims used by the Sextacy escort service were between the ages of 12 and 17.
Some had run away from their families. Others had been living in group homes.
Their services were sold over a website that invited clients from as far away as Ontario to choose "a young lady" for the evening.
"They were marketed as adults, and they also had some fake ID, so obviously the clients had no idea they were actually dealing with minors," said Robert Mansueto of the Montreal police force.
A tip from a 14-year-old girl being used as a prostitute triggered the police investigation a few months ago, Mansueto said.
None of the clients of the escort service has been arrested, according to Mansueto.
I think this was their website that CBC showed tonite:

Has anyone used this agency?
