Nice la Presse Article on XO this morning

[AnthonyAnderson]

The case docket should be a matter of public record online. I was actually going to ask the same question and ask whether anyone looked at the case detail online. It should have information on when the arrests were made, the counsel of record for the defendants, the next appearance date in Court and the trial date status if one is assigned. Because I assume it's all in French there is no way for me to figure this out but it all should be online and a matter of public record.

There would be a case docket detail for each of the 5 defendants. I would look up Sammy's.

It's not easily available online in Quebec except as a paid service to professionals. However it's available online for free in person at the Grande Bibliothèque (national library downtown) or in person at the courthouse, as mentioned by @hob12

For those who may scratch their heads reading the above posts, it's worth remembering that a fully transparent justice system is a pillar of democracy. In the US, cameras are allowed in courtrooms, but not in Canada. However, members of the public are allowed to attend in person. Rare exceptions are made when warranted (e.g. family law)

Another option is to email the la Presse reporter. His address is at the end of the article. They typically like to talk about their stories. And the la Presse story is based on reviewing the court records. The indictments were issued in January so the case is in a preliminary state.

Interestingly, the la Presse article only mentions indictments for advertising sex services, inducing someone to offer sex for money, and basically knowingly profiting from crime. No charges for drugs, rapes, or coerced sex work, though presumably the prosecutors can file a superceding indictment if they have evidence, cooperating witnesses/victims, etc.

Same exception here. You can look at any pleading filed in any civil case, except in family law cases you can only view pleadings if you are appearing counsel and log in electronically using your bar number. There is a reason for this. Financial affidavits are filed by the parties in every family law case and the contents shouldn't be snooped by anyone except the Court and the appearing Attorneys.

If anyone here were to obtain information on when the next hearing is in these cases, any of you can attend the hearing as an interested member of the public. Indeed around 20 years ago I attended and listened to a motions docket in the Palais de Justice on rue Notre Dame. I did this purely out of curiousity. I watched a civil motions docket but anyone can attend and watch any hearing. It's the case in Canada and the US. You don't need to identify yourself or say why you're there.

I think contacting the journalist or looking for information online is a great idea, i would also recommend leaving your real name and adress for a follow up

Yeah, the cops are sure to launch an investigation into someone horrified at the XO situation and asking when the case is set for trial, ironclad evidence of criminal activity right there They’ll subpoena anonymous email addresses and haul in anyone who checks public court records, this will definitely happen because showing interest in a crime is itself very criminal obviously.

Would love George Clooney to play me, but I'll probably end up with Danny DeVito

The young Philip Seymour Hoffman from his "Boogie Nights" days would have been the actor I, as casting director, would have chosen to play you in your interactions with Sam at industry parties before he started XO.

For the more important role of Sam, probably Henry Golding of Crazy Rich Asians. Although I was very impressed with the acting of Brian Tee in the Reacher series, and think he could pull off playing Sammy, but he is may be a bit too old for the part:

I was wondering this as well but have no idea where to look for that. Anyone know?

I found many court cases even stripclubs that got shut down. Even ppl who refuse to pay their rent and the landlord takes them to court I found the names here. But all in French only.

Not what i'm saying, it just seems weird that some people are super scared to be called by the cops and others want to contact the journalist. "Hi sir, curious about this whole XO thing.... asking for a friend"
But hey, it's a free country.

"Hi sir, curious about this whole XO thing.... asking for a friend"
But hey, it's a free country.

This reminds me of a funny story from many years ago, in which the reverse happened- a journalist called me, claiming she was interested and asking for a friend. It was a foreclosure sale that was only of any public interest because it was being done on a well known property of some historical interest. I was assigned by the Court to handle the foreclosure sale. The journalist, an unethical young woman, didn't tell me she was writing a story about it. She did tell me she was a journalist, but said she was calling for a "friend" who was a neighbor (the "friend" was indeed a neighbor who was interested in privately buying the property on the cheap, and she was doing everything she could to sabotage the public auction). I spoke to the journalist freely and the next day she ran a story and quoted me making colorful quotes of the kind I am sometimes known to make here on MERB. But I NEVER would have made those statements to her if I thought we were "on the record." Partly my fault for not clarifying we were "off the record." But very unethical journalist behavior in my opinion.

There is actually a case involving Sam there - regarding unpaid rent, which he lost. He apparently vacated a location and owed rent. Anyway, court ordered him to do so in August/July of 2025.

I tried searching with his name. I found things but did not check. Let me see again.

Cloud,

Unfortunately I am not much help due to my poor French language skills, but in addition to a "Judgments" tab, check to see if there is a "pending cases" tab, which would be any case that hasn't gone to Judgment. We have a very similar menu here and it's divided by civil and criminal and on criminal side it's "convictions" and "pending cases."

Pensez-vous que Clémentine est Jade de xo?

Et je suis bien curieux de savoir ce qu'un psychopathe peut dire a une fille pour qu'après le viol, la fille n'en parle pas a la police, ni a ses amies, ni a sa famille, ni a un organisme, ni a une ligne telephonique et continue et juge que la meilleure option est de retourner jour après jour 'travailler' pour protéger sa famille et son chien et subir des viols et menaces de mort mélanger avec des bons clients. Elle se dit quoi? Soit que je vais 'travailler' , me faire violer et menacé ou qu'ils tuent ma famille et mon chien. Elle se fait répété qu'il n'y a aucune issue? Elle pense qu'elle est condamné a servir d'objet sexuel pendant les 10 prochaines années?

The only thing I found so far is Sam was sued for unpaid rent. But I doubt this XO case will be posted till the case is completed and the accused are prosecuted. I did not see a pending cases tab.
