This was a PM originally in response to Siobhan's last post in her thread, where she says incalls are illegal. Lots of misunderstandings out there, here's my two cents. Actually, at my hourly rate it's more like my $100.
Hi Siobhan.
I haven't gotten round to seeing you yet, so you don't know me. I am a long-time member of this board but generally only post when I have something intelligent to say, and rarely for review/contact purposes.
Just wanted to comment on your post re: incalls. I am a founding partner in a good-size GTA law firm, though not a criminal lawyer, and I can tell you that outcalls are as illegal as incalls. There are more offences dealing with incalls and it is more risky for the CLIENT to do an incall since they can be charged with being in a common bawdy house (love our 17-th century mentality), and the lady can be charged with keeping a common bawdy house.
What is illegal in Canada is communicating for the purposes of prostitution. Emails discussing services and phone calls discussing same are obvious examples of this. TERB, for example, is likely a "public place", having a web site is communicating for the purposes of prostitution etc. However the fact is that even a perfectly innocent phone call followed by any sort of money changing hands and then discussion or performance of favours makes it clear that the original communication was for the purposes of prostitution.
Every call by a lady, in or out, is illegal and every client, whether in or out, also commits an offence. The differences are semantic and relate to what offence is actually on the piece of paper.
The important thing is that LE DOES NOT CARE about responsible people, both ladies and clients, pursuing their wants and needs. They care about pimping, as they should, about underage girls and about drugs and unsafe behaviour and associated crime.
It's a mistake to think that incalls are any more illegal than outcalls, or that outcalls are safe. We are safe in Canada because LE does not care, and the specific wording of our Criminal Code makes it just slightly more awkward to lay charges in the case of undercovers posing as streetwalkers - that's all.
