The Sault Ste. Marie Police Service, in its ongoing effort to address offences in relation to prostitution, has charged 20 individuals with the criminal offence of obtaining the services of a prostitute.

I know atleast one of the "Johns",lost his wife of many decades two years ago,I believe....to cancer.
ReplyDeleteHe was described by friends,as a sweet,gentle man.
Where was the crime?He sought the touch of a woman[without the fear of being expected to enter into
a longterm relationship].That is a human condition.To deny it...is dangerous to our well being.When will North American society grow up,and accept that the world's oldest profession,has it's place.It should be regulated and licenced,not routed out and ridiculed by traps and trolls..
That may be the case for one john.... not all. Most of these men have families and are bring sti's home to their wives. I am one of those wives. I now have HPV. So why don't YOU grow up and quit being so selfish. We are no longer together and now for the rest of my life I have to tell everyone I sleep with, that I have genital warts.

@Hooper- studies indicate that criminalizing the buyer of commercial sex, also called "the Swedish Model", is the only way to protect those people involved in commercial sex through force, fraud, or coercion. These people, who are enslaved, are very difficult to distinguish from the 2% of free choice prostitutes.
