Interesting case. Their argument was by posting positive reviews, the men are, in fact, promoting prostitution. Therefore, they were charged. I'm not a lawyer but I was always led to believe that prostitution is not illegal, solicitation is.

The sex trade is complicated. People are in it for a variety of reasons and for various durations. There's no doubt some girls are being forced into performing sex for money. But ladies I see are so happy to be doing this. We have so much fun together I can't imagine somebody is forcing them to this against their will. Some environments foster abuse and we all know who they are. So maybe we should do our part and try to avoid them. Organized groups such as WCA, Outlook and Luxus appear to offer safe, clean incall locations for the girls to work out of which I think is a good thing for everyone involved.

I think review boards are a good thing, at least this one. I like it because of the variety of topics being discussed. It's not all about escort reviews. It's sports, it's politics, it's human interest, it's whatever comes to mind. There's also a lot of good advice being passed on. Sometimes I feel a sense of camaraderie among us in this community which I like. Even though we're all hiding under assumed names, you can tell a lot about each individual by the comments they make. This, in turn, speak volumes on ones character. So when a lady is contacted for an appointment, she at least has some references on who she's conversing with which is a good thing.

So I guess the moral of the story is the next time you write a review, refrain from promotion or you may end up behind bars. :)

Thanks for posting this! It's very interesting. Glad we're in canada. And that perb's server is not in canada or the US.
In the second news story/video, the arrest of a pooner is a bit scary. (It was in the US.)

I'd mentioned this a while ago in a thread I started as I'd heard it on 98.3 in Vancouver. Nothing more misogynistic than a white male telling women what they can do with their bodies. Further the women were all released without charges they're clearly in the country legally (or they'd be detained by border agents). If ICE is out there kicking out Mexicans, how come they're not kicking out these allegedly "illegal" sex workers (answer: because they're in the country legally).

And I love how American media makes everything black or white. Yeah, there are definitely pimped sex workers and some of those pimped women have relative freedom but more women do this by choice. They fail to define "choice". A woman can enter this trade by her free will and that's a choice. She may not LIKE the work & she may have sessions she does not enjoy, but the chick at the drive through at Wendy's probably has bad days too.

If these do-gooders really gave a fuck about the women & wanted to help them, they'd get off their ass and petition the Feds for funding for education to help retrain the women to get them into a career outside the industry. And they'd assist with the cost of therapy for those women who have been violated while in the industry. You give someone hope by encouragement not by arresting them.
While I agree with most of what you said I don't agree with the last part. Following that line of reasoning should we fund anyone who hates their job, retrain them in a new field that they like? and if the answer is 'yes' then should students be funded for post secondary training?

If the answer is 'no' then the lesson would be if you want to be retrained then start working as a prostitute so you can get free retraining.

Personally I feel prostitution should be legalized, exploitation in any form should be dealt with severe punishment.

@the Meat Market!!!lol
and.....let's not forget why review boards emerged.....to protect clients from violence and robbery...

before the review boards it was russian roulette....the clients were alone in trying to find honest sp's who would treat them with dignity. the john's voice research said even now...42% of clients reported experiencing violence when trying to purchase sex....

that violence is unacceptable and also in turn causes violence against sp's.....

i was very against review boards at first and was the subject of some long deleted really harsh reviews ....as they were back then...i was not well known or an advocate then...the reviews were pretty bad back in the day...

but i had worked for an agency who were robbing almost every client systematically....some times they would rob the same guy 2 or 3 times in a row.....

it was nuts, and people including me...got hurt....

after that i understood why places like perb were absolutely necessary if we were ever going to see stability in our industry.

love susie
