Are female escorts entitle to same justice when a crime is committed against them ?

[BookerL]

Hello all


A true story that I would of done without .
A young escort that I know personally ,was victim of a murder attempt by strangulation .
I was a witness to it and stopped the perp from killing the young lady
This happened last March in Montreal
Many police officers came .
But the crown prosecutor failed as of now to indict the perp .

The perp Only as few summary offense on which he is charged .

To make the case worst the trial is set 19 months after the charges where brought ,
making it a clear case for a Jordan .

Which means no trials no consequences for a attempted murder by strangulation




Its does make me unhappy to see that escorts are treated differently in reality even if they say the contrary





Cheers

Makes me Furious.

A long time ago a lady I knew was assaulted. The officer investigating was an absolute asshole, incompetent and a disgrace.
Another took over and he was excellent, he was polite, hardworking, and did well in court.
So there you have two opposites in the same department, in the same section.

 

[hornyforty55]

I agree with you, escorts, male or female are still people, and should be the same respect and protection under the law as an ordinary person

 

[cobra1]

of course, an attack is an attack whoever you are

thumbs up to you booker for stopping it

Of course. In fact, I can't imagine a circumstance of where it would be any different unless the scumbag said he was choking her out during sex which is something she liked and didn't realize he went to far?

You know this brings up the classic question. Is raping a nun any different from raping an escort. When I was a kid I would of said that there was a big difference but after getting into this game and understanding the hobby I would say there is no difference. There may be some extenuating circumstances but I would say in general there is no difference.

A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y... the question should not even arise in anyone's mind.
There was an american judge in the 90's who ruled in a case where a woman was beaten, raped and her money
was stolen by one of her client. His verdict? Hang on this is incredible: "A crime commited against a non person".
Strangely enough a few years later a similar case was presented to him and he found the perpatrator guilty.
The difference? In that second case the escort was a man.
Talk about double standards....

Sadly it does for the police and Crown prosecutor

Of course they are entitled to the same protection under the law as anyone else. What they do for a living puts them in greater danger but that does not mean that society should turn a blind eye when a crime is commi8tted against them. Sadly the view that crown prosecutors have regarding sex workers is not fair but I believe this is changing. Remember it wasn't that long ago that sexual assault against a woman was considered her fault. It took time, far too long but this has changed and rape suspects are aggressively prosecuted today.

its called human rights for a reason... not supposed to be based on your job title.

and not supposed to be based on your gender either

And one of the central arguments of Black Lives Matter as well.

Completely agree with you ,not supposed ,but is in this case .
The young escort revealed to the police that she was a escort .
I have hired a prominent Criminal Defense Lawyer to review the file and see where the Crown Prosecutor is lacking motivation to indict for attempted murder charges .

For the record this young escort isn't Caucasian.She is a part of a minority group

Crowns usually have a bunch of files they are working on at once.
They prioritise them because they cannot do them all.
That is why you see ridiculous deals being made for guilty pleas, or cases thrown out due to long delays.

Yes West this true but mostly applicable to summary offenses.
Attempted murder is a indictable offense under the C.C.C therefore usually prioritised.

So maybe it's partly about race and class and gender as well as her status as a SW? Obviously I don't have the slightest idea and I'm not for a second making a case--just saying that there could be a number of reasons that she isn't being treated with the respect she (and everyone) deserves.

 

[westwoody]

Murder and Attempted Murder both require proof of intent. That makes them difficult to convict without a lot of supporting witnesses or documentation.

They are usually tried as Manslaughter or Aggravated Assault.

Your young friend may have a record that makes her a non credible witness. There may be a lot about her that you do not know.

Hello West

All what you say are possibilities ,however there is a audio recording of the events .
Which makes the poor quality of witness reasonning highly unlikely.

Audio recodings may or may not be accepted as evidence in court.
Even with police recordings, a constant chain of custody has to be shown to the court.

A defence lawyer will say that anyone could cough up a fake recording. Does the girl...or you...record all your sessions? How can you prove the peopke on the recording are the people in court? Any doubt at all will mean the recording is excluded.

Hello West

Just to clarify it wasn't à session the young escort was my tenant ,other then being a Booker I am a experience and successful real estate owner.

You do bring in valuable arguments however the voice can clearly be identified and at the moment the defense hasn't argued that the recording is either bogus or inadmissible.

The problem is that no charge where brought by the Crown Prosecutor which is highly abnormal in such events .
