I recently broke up with my ex, and there was a dispute over my dog to which the cops were called, he blackmailed me by saying I run an escort agency out of my house. He knew about me being an escort for 2 years and would demand money in return, expect me to pay for his gas, groceries, bills, and give him spending money. The dispute was settled, I got the dog, but the cops gave me the cold shoulder and kept on insisting that sex for money is illegal, no matter if its done at the clients private place of residence. From what I remember, brothels and public places are illegal (he was trying to make it sound like thats what I was doing) but meeting up at cafes and.or residences was completely legit. Right?? At least when I read up on Canadian law, thats what it said. Otherwise why would so many escort agencies advertise in the phone book? He went on to say there were alot of illegal things goin on in the phone book. If so, why is it allowed? Please anyone, can you confirm to me that outcalls in a private home are completely legal, no matter if there are sexual activities involved? Thanks.

As far as i know, if the private home is not yours, and you are not publicly
soliciting, then you are ok, since prostitution is legal in Canada.
But that is a lie, the police know this, everybody else knows this & nothing is done about it.
Why would that be?
These places are paying off public officials to keep themselves below the radar.
What happens to those who do not?
Simple, they are the one's you hear about being raided.
Bottom line - it's not a completely legal occupation.
No, if an escort sees more than one client on a regular basis at that in-call they can be considered a "bawdy house".
Do they get busted very often?
Not as long as they offer the police or other public official compensation to not be busted they are fine.
I would dare someone like FO to take the matter to court on the grounds that her biz is "perfectly legal".
If they do not get you for running a personal bawdy house, they will get you for tax evasion or for soliciting in a public place.
It's really a catch 22 situation.

You go to the client = Legal.
Client comes to you = Illegal.
Client cums on you = You done a good job.

The only thing that is legal is the transaction of sex for sale.
Going through the process of doing the transaction you run the risk of breaking other laws.
Read the above linked thread.
I think the cops should've taken more issue with your ex bf living off the avails of prositution... since he was demanding it and all...
In Vancouver the police are not interested in escorts. They have more things to do and don't really care what's going on if it doesn't bother anyone. The fact is that much of what goes on is technically illegal and the police can't get involved without opening the whole can of worms.
Plus the police would look at "custody" over a dog as a private matter - they don't care - and as a private matter they would prefer you to hire a lawyer and sue the jerk.
So the situation is this - first, they don't want to get involved because they think it is a private matter and you should sue privately to resolve things and second they give you the cold shoulder because they can't look at the situation without looking at the entire situation which includes your work which may be illegal. So, they just walk away.

Is that a grey lie, black lie, true lie or legal lie?
Not telling the full truth in the ad does not make it illegal. No doubt
there are dates where escorts do not have sex with their clients,
e.g. a dinner date. And agencies that are non sex related.
Without evidence, such as sending in undercovers, the police would
lose a lawsuit against them as well as the criminal case for busting
& shutting a place down.
In Thailand, sure. In Canada? I doubt it. That would be like blackmail
and anyone doing it would be at risk of criminal prosecution & prison.
These are probably those who the cops have their eye on closing for
some other reason unrelated to sex, such as underage teens, violence
against women, slavery, kidnapping, drugs, etc. Society likes sex, sex
is fun and kosher, but it is against these other things.
Maybe so, technicly, but the chances of her being fingerprinted are next
to nil. Even if LE were interested in such a case, which they are not,
what evidence does her BF have to prove it, just his word against hers?
It would be a waste of the court's time.
If she were going to gentlemen's places for one on ones she would be
within the law.
I've heard of SPs who not only don't pay taxes but also collect a welfare
check. {If i recall, even a millionaire in Alberta did that for years.}. Even
though they pay no taxes, there would have to be a reason for the
authorities to want to go after her for tax evasion or anything else.
Even then they would need to have some evidence to support a case
for tax evasian such as many expensive items in her apartment, though
she could say they were gifts.
Maybe declaring a fraction, say 10%, of what an SP really earns, would
be easy to get away with, if she is sly about it.
If she doesn't put huge sums into a paper trail, e.g. a bank account,
and her expenses {rent, etc} are in accord with her declared income,
who would know that she has tons of cash {or gold, diamonds, etc}
hidden somewhere?
I'm sure waiters, construction workers and others also recieve cash
under the table they never declare, or only partially declare, and
get away with it. With a waiter, though, i imagine it might be more
difficult to cheat the system since it may be known what kind of
tips are the norm at various restaurants.
This is basically the bottom line. Whether something is legal or not is only 1/2 of the question. Smoking pot is also illegal at concerts and eveyone knows it's going to happen and nothing is going to be done about it.
Why?
Simple, the cost of prosecuting these type of cases far and away exceeds any benefit that going to materialize and the judges aren't going to provide any degree of punishment even if they are found guilty. So why go after to consenting adults who may be paying for sex? Especially if both are reluctant to testify and may even lie about it. If two people say they had consentual sex and the only money that changed hands was because a loan was being paid back, proving otherwise, would be a costly undertaking with dubious benefits at best.
Better off spending the resources on those who truly are hurting others.
Ex what? The cop should have saved the attitude and lecture towards you and saved it for your Ex-Pimp.
