This caught my eye: The practice of independent outcall prostitution is fully protected by Federal law. Third party involvement in solicitation of business or profiting from it is a crime


What does this mean for an agency?

Can I be arrested for call one up and making "arrangements"?:confused:

Basically the agency who takes the fee from the girls is breaking the law.

Escort Agencies?

Then how come 100's of Escort Agencies out-calls are fully operating and propsering over here in Ontario, if they were breaking the law, then where is the LAW, are they sleeping in slumber? These day's the escort agency owners are leading a very comfortable lives due to their 5-figure earnings.

Then it's a dumb law and can be ignored, in my opinion.
Agents can provide marketing, deal with scheduling, handle phones, cleaning, rooms, drivers, someone to talk to and provide safety for that fee if she wants that choice.

Absolutely! Besides, LE has other priorities like searching for that 18 year old woman who ran away from home and keeping our schools safe for students who actually want an education.

Speaking of dumb laws, did you know that in 1800's England 200 crimes were punishable by death but juries (in their wisdom) refused to convict?

The police aren't investigating them, that's why. Ditto for incalls, also illegal, also not being investigated. The police have literally decided that they have better things to do.

The agencies may be in a legal grey area. It really depends on the nature of the relationship and how they operate. Even then it gets iffy.

Potentially they can argue that they are not employers, and not pimps, but instead they are selling a phone answering service and a driving service, and an advertising service, to anyone who would like to purchase it, and it's not really any of their business that all of their customers at the moment happen to be escorts.

It is not illegal to sell a serivce to an escort that you would sell to anyone else, it gets grey and iffy when you start providing services only to escorts, and for no other reason than prostitution.

I think the legal test would be something along the lines of, if someone else came along who was not a prostitute, is your service equally available to them as well? For example, would you advertise on behalf of a plumber, answer calls for them, and drive them around to their customers, provided they are willing to pay your standard rates? If the answer is at least theoretically yes then I don't think it is living off the avails.

A cab driver is not living off the avails when he delivers a prostitute to a customer, for example, because he is willing to drive anyone anywhere so long as they pay the meter.

At any rate most agencies probalby don't even bother trying to toe the line because unless a minor is involved or there is a complaint of abuse, trafficing, or something more serious, the police don't bother investigating.

Police won't usually "crackdown,investigate etc" unless they get a nunber of complaints. This usually comes from some asshole City Counciller who gets them and in turns calls the local Cop Shop to pass on the info thus "looking after" his people in the ward ie: saving his job come re election time.

LE knows about incalls etc and again too many IMPORTANT things on their plates to deal with.

I think LE and most civilians have decided that a loaded gun is much more of a menace to their safety than your erect cock:p inside a vagina of a consenting female adult behind closed doors.
