Parallel Statute

CL was involved in deep negotiations with numerous AGs. I think the threat of possible prosecution under a parallel statute is what motivated them to take these steps.

Would the "parallel statute" involve facilitating the communication across state lines for the purposes of prostitution?

Well, from what I remember, about 4-5 yrs ago, a companion, who was also a university student and lived in a very nice condo in downtown Montreal was caught by Revenu Canada because they found irregularities in her income and lifestyle. I think she would deposit the money into her bank account and that is how they were able to accuse her of tax excape. I remember she ended up owing the governement a big amount of money.

Thats unbeleivable. I guess her next meeting was with Jean Fortin & Ascosiés.
Great topic here Lili.

No, given the quote from the Canadian law that preceded my comment, I meant a parallel in the U.S. - however, yes, that one too, if there is one (I'm not familiar with U.S. law well enough to say) would seem to be applicable.

In any event, Craigslist is cooperating. Do govern yourselves accordingly.

And if the hundreds of openly advertised and often municipally licensed massage parlours and escort agencies across Canada are really full of Asian and eastern European teenage girls kidnapped and forced into the business, as some seem to believe, why is it that, after years of looking for them, police raids on massage parlours, escort agencies or brothels haven't yielded a single victim?

Are they lying, or just incredibly incompetent?[/QUOTE]

They are the police officers from wisteria lane
