I second westwoody's comments. Nobody wants to see anyone forced into this business and I'm only too happy to see a pimp get busted.

Stories like this really make me reconsider this hobby, or at least stick to established providers. You just never really know what's going on behind the scenes.

I'm glad the scumbag was arrested, but now I wonder how many saw this girl not knowing she was doing this against her will?

This is why I stick with well known reviewed ladies and trusted agencies

So good that scumbag has been arrested! Just an awful story! I can only imagine how horrific that was for her!

So I'm curious what if someone used a textnow account and had previously texted this CANDY person and arranged to meet sp but on arrival no one came out? Are TextNow accounts traceable and would such a person be a person of interest?

Yeesh, sure wouldn't want to be someone that met this poor lady!

Last summer I saw a very disturbing scene at the airport.

Two greasy scumbags, maybe early to mid twenty years old, slapping a young woman while another young woman watched. It was very brazen and sickening. One guy pulled the girl out of the back seat of their car by her hair, and as she lay crying on the grown he yelled at her.
They were yelling at the girl in French, so one might assume they were Quebecois.
I just want people to stop and think and look for signs of abuse when meeting these young ladies.
I saw this right in front of me in a public place.
It obviously goes on more than any of us thought.

I'm very glad to hear WPS is doing this kind of thing rather than harassing legit SP's and their customers.
Unfortunately the sad reality is this guy will likely not be convicted.
The pimps who bring these girls to Wpg. are basically the errand boys of a much larger entity.
The girl will return to Mtl. Someone from the organisation she was being trafficked/pimped by will find her/visit her. She will either disappear or become a very uncooperative witness for the Crown. With out her testimony the Crown's case falls apart and this scumbag is released, if f he is already not free on bail.
He returns to Mtl. and is on the road with another girl within a few days.

It's just sick that these scumbags exist. Glad WPS is on his ass

Have to admit you don't imagine (well you don't like to imagine) it can happen like that in this country but there it is. There are always vulnerable people. It is a lesson to us to keep our eyes open.

I've read a lot about human trafficking in Canada. The police are definately out there trying to deal with it. BP is a site they focus on a lot for that.
There is many common tell-tale signs in ads that show up for possible trafficking, (no face pics, text only, etc.) but I also read some of the stats
regarding lack of convictions in the courts and it's horrible. Looks like charges get stayed more often than not.
Myself, I just stay away from any ads that have nothing backing them up period. Most get sucked into the fantasy pics and when you leave reality,
you may just leave your wallet with it.

Like others ITT, many (including I...) don't like to think things like this happen here and hate hearing about this and hope those scumbags get what they deserve at some point...
