It all depends on what the offence(s) are. They can be charged as either juvenile offenders or adults. It all comes down to how strong of evidence the Crown Attorney has. There is a recent case in Ottawa, where two 15 year old girls were charged as minors (I believe). But there was also a 17 year old girl and she was charged and Convicted as an adult for Human Trafficking, Robbery, Forcible Confinement, Sexual Assault, Assault, Child Luring, and Distributing Child Pornography. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2014/01/29/ottawa_teen_girl_found_guilty_on_30_charges_in_pimping_case.html http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2012/06/11/ottawa_teen_girls_charged_with_prostitution_abduction.html

I think that if they wanted to, the police can still charge them for having sex in a car. The car was in a public place and in plane site of others. That would be an Indecent Acts (section 173 of the CCC). http://yourlaws.ca/criminal-code-canada/173-indecent-acts

I don't believe so. The short answer. The 15 year old girl cannot consent to prostitution but she can consent to sexual activity provided the other person is less than five years older than her. The law is clear that the responsibility is placed on the older person receiving the sexual services to know that the other person is of legal age ( 18 ) to engage in sexual activity for the purpose of prostitution. Her parents or legal guardian could be found legally responsible for her actions if she broke any laws. But the Crown has only gone this route in extreme cases. IF the Crown believes that her crime was heinous or she is a repeat offender, they could charge her as an adult - but this is unlikely to happen. I believe that the police and reporter were trying to cloud the real issues of this case. I have my own speculations as to what really went down. But I will keep them to myself. Supposition not yet supported in facts.

I think this girl's parents or legal guardians should also be held accountable in some way. I also had some problems with the way this news article was written. There was too much bias. The reporter and the police are supposed to report facts and let the readers form their own opinions. ___________________________________________ There is a reason the law says 18. Psychologically, the average person does not reach full maturity until they are between 18 and 21 years of age. I think it is better to have laws err on the side of caution and protect everyone under the age of 18. Like we currently have here in Canada. Give this link a good read. You may be surprised as to how little we really know about our own laws. Age of Consent to Sexual Activity - Department of Justice http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/clp/faq.html Did you read the last one about Sex Tourism - having sex outside of Canada - you are still subject to prosecution in Canada.

I am trying to catch up on e-mails and Cerb. But my cat keeps screaming at me!!! He wants to go for a nap, but he wants me to go too. He is afraid I will run away or jump off the balcony. The last one sounds interesting... - NOT - The only way to get him to stop screaming is to give in and go to bed. Otherwise he will keep it up for hours. Additional Comments: Five minutes later we were snug in bead. He is out cold and snoring. <3 We could be like this for hours...

Real Name: Ricky Nutter Cerb Name: Dickie Dangler Interesting....

There could be another spin on this.... Suppose they decide to regulate prostitution.... Can you imagine the amount of tax dollars that could be generated....

Another year older and another year wiser. ....Left the candles off to keep your real age a secret ;)

Hello and welcome to Cerb. Here is the link to Windsor, Ontario. http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=97

I collect matchbooks. But not just any old matchbook will do. I only collect the really old ones From Canada with 4 digit phone numbers on them. The matchbook must also be complete with no missing matches. I started this as a kid and I still have some of my collection. Minus a few dozen stolen by my mother to support her smoking habit. It is hard to collect them now a days because Canada Post makes you cut off the match heads for mailing. By doing so you destroy the value. IMHO. I also have a really old foreign paper money collection I started as a kid. When ever friends or neighbors traveled abroad. They would bring me back a banknote or two. I don't think it is worth anything but I still treasure it. I even have a Canadian $1 & $2 bill in mint condition. They were printed the year I was born (1967). I would like to someday expand this collection to include a $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 and $1,000 bill.

I Saw the Devil (2010 film) very scary

Long hair - especially if it falls across her chest. You can pretend to be stroking it while stroking her breasts... ;) Make out sessions on: the couch or in the bed

Massaging her - she needs it more than I do ;) Do you prefer if the lady wears: perfume or no perfume

Shower for 2 please - Jacuzzis gives me a headache When meeting a lady for the very first time: Social date or intimate rendezvous

Same amazing lady each visit - more exciting Do prefer if the lady: dresses up or dresses casual

A B.C. man will stand trial again for the murders of two sex workers after the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear an appeal related to the case. Davey Butorac (BOOâ??-ter-ack) was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder of two women, whose bodies were found months apart in the B.C. communities of Abbotsford and Langley in 2007. But the B.C. Court of Appeal overturned those convictions last year and ordered a new trial, while also giving Butorac the opportunity to apply to have the cases heard separately. The Crown appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, which has refused to hear the case, effectively upholding the B.C. Appeal Court ruling. Butorac, who has not yet formally applied to have the cases separated, is scheduled to appear in court next on April 17. Butorac is also awaiting trial for second-degree murder in the death of Margaret Redford, whose body was found in Langley in May 2006, with the next date in that file also set for April 17.

Nice to see that it was an even split between the Sex Worker Advocates (6) and the Abolitionists (9). {Sarcasm} I wonder who sent out the invitations? (They clearly need a refresher in math) A 7 vs 8 would have been more appropriate. It might not sound like much. But really it is - 3 voices vs 1 voice makes a big difference. IMHO. Well, it does not surprise me. The Harper government is after all pushing for a Nordic or Nordic like system. They want to make sure no one changes their mind -- especially the people most involved and affected by any new legislation. The sex workers themselves. We have the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982). It has been in effect for 32 years. After all this time we still have individual exclusions, community exclusions, professional exclusions, and social exclusion. These are the very people it was intended to protect. That does not seem like much progress. IMHO.

Well I took the plunge and installed Skype. I will see how it actually works on the weekend. Thank you everyone for your information and comments. They were greatly appreciated. Cheers,
