Why would you expect the site to be down? The agency is likely saying they’re engaged in no wrong doing, and Xo attorneys aren’t suggesting to take it down. LE probably doesn’t have authority to take it down, and if it’s hosted overseas….good luck.

Agree. LeDodo just said what I was thinking. If you’re the mark in this investigation, if you’re the guy they want, they’ll come and get you, burner phone or no burner phone. Chances are you had been under surveillance for weeks. I would go as far as to say if a regular Joe calls up police to...

Squeeze you for what? Whether the owners of XO were operating an escort agency? Well, the owners still have their website up shouting that’s exactly what they do, they’re in the escort services business. Nobody gives a rats ass about the clients, and it’s quite likely XO is out of the...

Come after the clients for what? Meeting up with a girl?

If I’m understanding correctly, you won’t use a Montreal agency because you had a bad experience with one in Alberta? From my experience, owners like James at Euphoria and even the folks at Vogue when I used them were incredible, and their girls spoke highly of them. If a restaurant I visited...

Don’t leave EB. You’re always worth a read and how else will we get CT pizza reviews? I also enjoy your somewhat familiarity with the NYC escort scene, particularly during the golden era. Did you not mention one time (and forgive me if I’m confusing you with another Merbite) you were booking...

Great analysis and perspective, EB. And good for you on case! I don’t know very much about Canadian law, but it’s possible this case never makes it to a courtroom. In cases such as this, I think there is a sensitivity to owners threatening to reveal prominent clients, including law enforcement...

I can’t speak for Canadian prosecutors, but I don’t think they give a rats ass about the website itself. And I don’t think owners could deny they ever ran an escort business without being laughed out of courtroom. I’ve seen homepages stay up post busts in US. It appears XO attorneys haven’t...

I’m not an attorney but I’ve followed enough US cases similar to this one. See my post regarding JuliesNYC. The conventional wisdom is that the XO group reopens once all this gets resolved. It’s usually about the Benjamin’s (or the Canadian equivalent), and the prosecutors will want to see...

I would even go beyond that and say it’s a moral imperative to report abuse when you witness it or have credible knowledge it occurred.

In your example I would act in charity, justice and caution, as I previously mentioned. And I would encourage her to report it, using the same courage it took to promote the allegation on Merb. Just because an allegation is made doesn’t make it true, nor does it make it untrue. And priority #1...

I need to be off to other things, but I feel like we’re talking in circles. Parting thoughts: Rape should be reported when it occurs, wherever it occurs. Who among us is putting all responsibility on providers to report? Can you show me that part? I’m saying it’s on everyone who knows a rape...

OMG. Similar story with friends going to strip clubs.

Well you’re conflating a transactional business with date rape among two friends whom I know. In your example I would speak with my friend and encourage my female friend to go to police if credible. An important distinction is that the relationship here is not contingent upon her livelihood...

You’re right, I haven’t been raped. But if I had any knowledge that you or anyone was raped in a room right next to me, I would immediately go the police regardless of the consequences (at least I’d like to think I would). I’d hope I wouldn’t say, well, the police may not believe me, I may be...

Don’t take this the wrong way, but it seems as if I have significantly more empathy than you. I’m clearly saying if an escort or even client has first hand knowledge a rape occurred on premises, then report it. Don’t hide behind “they may not believe me” or “they might take my money,” which...

I can’t disagree with anything you said there.

It’s seldom easy to do the right thing in these circumstances. But if we’re not reporting r— or assault because LE may confiscate money or an escort claim won’t be deemed credible, we’ve lost our humanity.

So sorry. Lost in translation. Got it!

Nobody will ever see a call log. And as I said, it’s difficult to determine facts from a sensational article such as this. Victims can embellish and bask in the limelight. Prosecutors trump up charges. Agency owners will say or do anything to defend past heinous actions. The truth is in there...
