I am glad I have not used an agency in a long while. I had plans to book one but now I will leave it. I will not book Indys for sure. I rather to other things. Perhaps MPs and of course there are stripclubs.

The agency vs indy debate is a bit pointless. Bottom line its about price and convenience for the clients. With an agency you only have to nurture one relationship vs one with each indy who often ask things like references or pictures of IDs. Its a more complicated environment. Prices are also way out there in many cases.
It's not a debate... Nobody is debating about "agency vs indy"! We're talking about awful working conditions at agencies.

I am not gonna shame people for using agencies, the value proposition is very strong:
1- Most Indys are 30+ very rare to find Indy in her 20
2- pound for pound, Indys charge around double
3- Agencies have multiple choices and if the girl cancels they will make it right, which is a big deal for busy people.
4- they do have an overhead and 80$ an hour cut for agencies seems reasonable (rent, marketing, unhappy customers, transportation)
Agencies is what made the hobby interesting. But I see it going the way the US did. If there were no agencies I would do other things, not book an Indy. Agencies kept the rates competitive and there was no complicated booking system, just a simple text was all I needed. This post is spot on.

Obviously and XO paid dearly for that and other fuck ups.Though I noticed that in the article that this happened in 2017 while the investigation started in 2024. Makes you wonder if that particular allegation has any legs. If yes then why did the cops waited 7 years?
It takes a long time to conduct an investigation like that. I know more than one person who worked at agencies as minors a long time ago. Nobody checked how old they were.

Police in Canada have very limited ressources. Few people realize this. It can take a lot of time and "convincing" to get your bosses to fund and allocate resources to a given investigation. They prioritize.
Which is why they launch investigations when they receive complaints. If no complaints then police will not actively be looking for them.

But I didn't know there were penalties and fees for being late or not going to an appointment. It may lead to coercion.
An agency lady told me that the agency push her with her average and few reviews. They also body shamed her based on one comment. But she has a perfectly fine body ...

Hi everyone,

Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn't, but i have been very silent on the board lately. While it would be off topic to say why (and i am not ready to talk about it), i still wanted to comment on this particular post due to the serious nature of it.

So for a start i want to say that even tough i never been someone to book "often", having maybe 3-4 bookings at Xo maximum per years (with 1 or 2 indies and maybe 2-3 in other agencies), i never noticed anything or was told anything in regard with this article. I did had SPs ocasionally mention other clients bad behaviors to me, but i never heard of bad situations with the agency itself. I asked a few times the SPs i saw if it was good in the agency and they always answered positively.

I met Uncle Sam a few times but it was very long ago, before he started the agency (in the old GTs). I did exchanged messages over the board and by email after, but thats it. He was always nice to me. I am not saying this to excuse him or anything, but simply to say i couldn't had any hints of any issues.

That said, i am not naive and obviously over all these years with all these different women, its bound that not everything would be sunshine and rainbows. Now i understand the moral dilema of "agencies vs indies", both from different clients AND indies perspectives, and it is a very slippery slope to go and i fear no matter how i try my hardest to present it, i am bound to displease someone. I did try during my years to stay away from the "underbelly" and anything that looked too shady. The reality tough is that there is bad stuff happening on both agency and indy side. There will never be a 100% safe and "ethical" way to operate in this business as a client. I know that from certain Indies point of view(i am not gonna name anyone) they have their way to operate and they consider this the ethical way, but i never hidden that i do have issues with certain parts especially when it comes to clients forfeiting all their "protections". So even not taking into account the disparity of cost between the 2 "formats", it may simply be easier to book in agencies for certain clients at certain times.

Personally i had already decided to take a break from most of the hobby unrelated to this article because of "other stuff" (that i may or may not talk about at some point) so it won't really impact me on the present. But it will pick my curiosity to follow this... Will this lead to a huge shake up in the business or will it be another C-36? I don't know. Time will tell.

With that said, stay safe everyone.

It's very clear to me who cares about the well being of the sex workers they say and those who only see us as commodities.

Maybe it wouldn't hurt to listen to sex workers. This is about us after all.

I haven't used agencies in a long time, probably since "XO Kate" left/ became Indy

But I think I will avoid incalls altogether, at least for some time and I will only booked women that I know already or are very reputed

To think they will go after phone numbers in XO database is beyond paranoiac, the penalty for the crime of being a "John" is too small to go after guys not caugh "pants down"; from a LE point of view lots of effort for little reward. If this was a pedo ring, then that is a different story

Or that they only check them when there's a problem.
the agent said she didn't feel well after her last client, this could have been a good enough motive to listen tot the tapes

Reasons to worry go beyond criminal liability. People were arrested and there might be a trial. Who knows what the prosecutors will submit as evidence. We know they have all the numbers and if they are used in the trial they become part of the public record

I've only used an agency once many years ago and the exp was Ok but very businesslike. I'm glad now about my decision to see indys only now that I'm seeing in this thread the kind of coersion that goes on with agencies. I really like & admire independant women in general and I like the idea of seeing a woman who is her own boss.

So is that mean that police can fake to be a fake neighbour and make a complaint ?

What s wrong ... If they really want to eradicate prostitution world wide ... They have to take off all prostitution in Movies ... Series ... Books ...

How many series about that topic ... Spartacus = Full Prostition to Slave ... Diary of a Callgirl ... Girlfriend Experience .... Pretty Woman ... the list is long !

Why are they putting their dirty hand between 2 adult consents ? These people gonna pay a lot after their death ... i garante you ...

And more they gonna try to forbid it, more Chaos will follow ! Is that what they want ? Don t they understand how the Human Body and Behavior according to it works ?

This is not a good news !

Remember police officer can lie ... it s part of their job ... police officers are and always have been New World Order Dogs ...
