But I thought...........

So I have read a lot of the posts here about Bill C-36. However, I have also read the law itself and I am wondering how does this effect escorts and just talking to them. I thought as long as you don't mention sex what happens after money is exchanged is between two adults. So if sex does happen after its between two adults. Now I do see the idiocy of the advertising aspect of it but if you are an escort agency how are you getting changed with selling sex?

I have been away for awhile and would like some quick clarification because as I see it as long as we don't talk about sex during the hiring/payment process we are still free and clear. Or am I missing something altogether.

It is absurd the amount of time and resources the police would need to use to prove a case against a client. They need to prove that sex took place and payment took place and that the payment was in exchange for sex. When all of this takes place in private I don't see how it can be proven. The only risk is if the police pressure a sex worker to testify against a client. If this becomes common the sex worker support groups would protest.

You guys have pretty much summed it up in simplistic terms, although we know real-life can't be as easily laid out in a couple of short paragraphs.

Boils down to: Stay well away from anything/anyone that might have attracted police attention, and give the cops nothing to work with just in case you haven't managed that.

Just a note though: The police do not "…need to prove that sex took place and payment took place and that the payment was in exchange for sex", only that you tried to make such an arrangement. 'Attempted johnning' is also a crime.

I still don't know how the police are going to be able to enforce this law. Takes a huge investment in vice and additional personnel. With child porn and human trafficking on the priority list I just don't see how things will change that much.

Plus 1. I just can't imagine a scenario for the successful enforcement of this new law, especially with MPAs.

And if ever a connection can be made that police resources have been taken away from anti-terrorism and the radicalization of youths to enforce this stupid morality law, and some terror bad stuff happens, there will be hell to pay in the court of public opinion and the election polls.
