Nice la Presse Article on XO this morning

[AlexDaniel]

So if we used our phone to text XO even if we didn’t get an appointment we are cocked?
What about doing business with other agencies and they get raided and their phones seized?
The shit is about to hit the fan…

I think you guys are just fucking with us at this point. Lol.

 

[AlexDaniel]

No you didn’t. But do you think an ayatollah is going to knock on your door to take you to the town square for your execution?

Again, nobody gives a shit about any clients.

Why do you think they are not going after clients since their is a law against client but not law against the sp, so to stop this shit they are juste gonna put end on the demande to stop this scandale…

Yep as per Bill C-36. All they need are the texts. Even asking for a booking makes you guilty of solicitation for sexual services. Whether they will go after the clients or not is another story. But they can if they want to. The law is very broad and it was designed in this way on purpose.

The communication says that you asked for sex services even if you didn't get the appointment, they yeah you are cooked

 

[Verbal Kint]

Do you think they gain from stopping sex work?
Do you think it is a winnable war?

Chimps in a lab under control studies started giving female chimps bananas, to buy sexual favours.
Psych wards had to shut their monopoly money weekly rewards, so that mental patients would stop buying sexual favours from female residents.


Robert has to most Hilarious take about going into a cop shop to surrender yourself for buying sexual favour, to witch the cops will laugh at you and kick you out. That image amuses me greatly.

The question pops-up every day, multiple times a day, And I suspect it is the reason, this thread is 46 pages long now.
People secretly looking if they're in trouble or not.

I don't think we are.
That being said, be a grown up and acknowledge that what we do here is not technicaly legal...

 

[LeDodo]

Why do you think they are not going after clients since their is a law against client but not law against the sp, so to stop this shit they are juste gonna put end on the demande to stop this scandale…

Because nobody cares about the clients.

Because a handful of clients isn't going to end the demand.

Because I rather be scared to be on a business trip from Montreal to NYC and crash into a fire truck.

Because I might die from a disease before a cop knock at my door asking me if I met cheeky Isabella, sexy Laura, naughty carmen, et cetera

 

[LeDodo]

Why do you think they are not going after clients since their is a law against client but not law against the sp, so to stop this shit they are juste gonna put end on the demande to stop this scandale…

Also please find statistics about such prosecutions since the law has been enacted.

 

[LeDodo]

At this point we should begin to tell people to move out of Canada, change name and sex JUST to be sure.

 

[Giselle Montreal]

Don’t you think this is exactly what LE wants, make clients panic so they stop seeing escorts? The point of C-36 is to stop the demand, not the offer. They did a good job.

 

[RobertNYC]

Because I’ve seen more agency busts in NYC over my hobbying career than my age. Please read my JuliesNYC post a few pages back. Usually it involves an agency doing something really stupid. Yet many are business for a decade or two. MBV, Lear, TDT etc.

IF…the Montreal police announced a new campaign to target demand, and then the XO bust suddenly happened, I’d say that AlexDaniel dude on Merb is really onto something. But this was a one off, with some rather heinous allegations. And we don’t even know any backstory here.

 

[RobertNYC]

Don’t you think this is exactly what LE wants, make clients panic so they stop seeing escorts? The point of C-36 is to stop the demand, not the offer. They did a good job.

Why does LE want clients to stop seeing escorts? Like, why now, unless I missed an announcement? And that would mean Independents would be at risk nearly as much as agencies, as LE could watch clients entering even a residence.

I think we’ve all jumped the shark here. Back to regularly scheduled programming. Be safe. Have fun. There’s not a sex cop around every corner waiting with cuffs.

This woman enslaved another woman and pimped her for months. No jail time.

This one (today’s news) worked for an agency as a driver for months and pimped a 16 year old (she was in 11th grade and would do 5-6 clients a night).

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/justice-et-faits-divers/2026-03-23/le-dpcp-porte-en-appel-l-acquittement-d-un-homme-pour-proxenetisme.php

Not guilty verdict (the female judge is known for being a bit… insane). The dpcp is appealing because what he admitted to was enough to be found guilty.

Hard to imagine they would press charges for ambiguous texts. They could do some bench plea for John school.

They could do a sting for clients though. A bunch of people caught in the act in the same operation is cost effective.

I am not saying you would be proven guilty. But if they want to give clients a hard time then a traceable text with clear intention is enough. And this can easily destroy people's careers, personal relationships and also financial ordeal.

In Massachusetts brothel trials, the clients or "sex buyers" wanted to remain anonymous but media houses and social workers protested and their names were released in multiple stages with hearings streamed live.

No it doesn’t.
There is no law in asking for an escort for companionship, it is perfectly legal.
They cannot prove you didn’t want a guided tour of Montreal or just a companion for dinner or whatever.
As long as your text doesn’t contain reference to any kind of sexual activity GFE etc… they have nothing.

 

[EagerBeaver]

I think you are right that the audience on MERB is waiting for the other shoe to drop and a new story on a client being charged as a result of this investigation. I have had a few PMs from board members asking me about this as well. Like you I don't think anyone is in trouble, except the 5 people already charged.

But this fear is driving this thread and makes me once again have to call on Franklin to remind you of this:

 

[LeDodo]

No it doesn’t.

Well we all know that GFE stands for Good and Funny Encounter !

100% correct. In fact sexless dates are often booked. The prosecution has to prove you booked the date for sex. If you just booked a date, they have shit.

I meant that all I read are clients panicking, I am not! And make clients reflect and end the demand is the goal of our Canadian law. It might not last, but clearly taking down that agency touched a nerve.
