They can if they want to. It is all about selective enforcement. If they want to bust all johns that contacted the agency they will. The power of LE is they never quit. Crimes commited 30 years ago are being prosecuted now. I always tell everyone to not take it for granted at anytime if they want to they can and got resources to shut it all down.
They will not. Too much resources and too much time and they can't prove shit if the lady does not collaborate which 90% of them will not expose themself. Especially with Euphoria case, nobody except the eye doctor will get shit, not even James, since he disappear with his client list. The XO client list is another thing, but again Xo got caught because they got sloppy , did not check girls ages and keep clients that treat girls like sex slaves like the eye doctor did. Does incall model is dead.....Maybe, dunno but i do think that Forever will maybe need a name change and that the downtown location that everybody have will change after july 1st, because two of the biggest agency gone in 6 months..eyes are on them
Exactly. There are far more important issues to deal with at the moment in this crazed world.
I never they will, I just said they can if they want to and can shut it all down.
Agreed...its a mix right of things..a network down on ratings deciding to hit on the old profession and may the Govt interested in getting some of that lost doe with pressure....because the budget always needs money while setting an example on the justice front and of course the tax front
The bigger problem is they exposed the location. As some peoples pointed out, James is likely very rich after all this time in the business and while having his full name out is not good (wonder how they found that one to be honest, cause apprently most of their infos came from the XO bust) he can probably bounce back in some form or the other. But having the location exposed is a huge problem as he can't use these anymore. Likely he will still have to pay rent and finding a new place could be a headache. Maybe not too. I can't know for sure. But lets say he COULD/WOULD like to stay in the business. Its not gonna happen in a week or 2. And by then the SPs (as we already saw for the majority of them) have already moved. They need to pay rent too...
Yes they merged under the Euphoria name. True.
The government does not really care if no trafficking or underaged girls get involved. Yes, it's hypocritical. Sexual outlets like this is necessary for society. That's why they call it the "world's oldest profession". Marriage is legalized prostitution. How many dumb ladies would marry a man even though he was poor?
i was thinking the same thing...most minimally aware and or educated people, men and women, know there is a big sex trade in Montreal, and know there is a big sex trade in most of the world and developped world (no shit Sherlock!)Thanks for posting that link.
I don't think anything is clear yet, but there's no doubt that agencies that offer incalls in upscale buildings are going to have to reconsider their business models.
As I noted before, it's possible that agencies will survive by returning to the old days of lower profiles, smaller lineups, outcalls only and owner/managers who are native Quebecois and more considerate of their staff. It all depends on whether the police really want to kill off the agencies completely or just force them to operate with much lower profiles and better practices.
Clementine and her buddy Romain Schue are certainly enjoying their 15 minutes of totally undeserved fame.
Clementine was dressed like she was headed to a sexual encounter with her new client or sugar daddy--makeup, short, tight black dress, black stockings, black boots. Not sure, but she looked like she was wearing hair extensions too. She may not be a whore anymore but she sure was wearing a whore's uniform.
As for Romain Schue (AKA Jimmy Olsen) , the crack "investigative reporter" (from France!), he can barely believe his good fortune. This story had to be the easiest story to report of his (not very impressive) career. All he had to do was sit at his computer and Google "montreal escort agencies". Sacre Bleu! "I am shocked, shocked to learn that prostitution is going on in Montreal! I must come to the rescue of the poor young (let's just assume they are all underage) maidens who are being abused, exploited, trafficked and forced to work as virtual sex slaves for creepy old men." (At least he was able to find one creepy old man-"merci, docteur!").
Nobody really knows what will happen-it's up to the police, the public, the media and truthfully, all the participants in the business-the girls, the agency owners, the clients, etc. But as a long-term observer of the Montreal scene, I am certain that the business will survive though it will change, maybe for the worse, maybe even for the better. On verra.
Don't worry! Even if that's the case, I doubt you are on the list. Just too many to arrest.
thats a little extreme. to build a case that is provable without reasonable doubt is the great botteneck. Diffficult for 1 crime, let alone thousands of circumstantial crimes.
You are right...but when they aint getting taxes ...now that is their business. I am sure Escort agencies play a lot of the business under the table...hence tax evasion
