Guest surreybbw Report post Posted April 2, 2008 CL has been going nuts. Accounts are being placed on hold for no reason, and the help forum is less than helpful. They are also requiring telelphoned verification if you want to post in the erotic services section. Funny, my ads don't state anything illegal or sexual and they have closed 6 accounts. Yet the asians who constantly spam CL with their drivel are allowed to post over and over. Are there any other "free" boards to post on, that I don't know of?:rolleyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FULL STORY http://www.torontosun.com/News/TorontoAndGTA/2008/02/26/4876924-sun .html These escorts were exported and mostly envolved with black street gangs member from Montreal. A number of board members have acknowledged that many of the exported escorts have pimps. However an article by Grant LaFleche of the Standard goes far beyond that, recognizing they are not merely pimps. But members of violent street gangs from Montreal exporting escorts and dancers to the Region. Article... One of Montreal's oldest, most powerfull and violent street gangs is exporting prostitutes to Niagara and Toronto, police say. The Bo-Gars, which, although spelled incorrectly means "Nice boys," have for years recruited young or sometimes underage women in Quebec and then sent them to Toronto - Niagara strip clubs and hotels to ply their trade, an expert in organized crime says. "Who knows why they've chosen Niagara and Toronto," said longtime crime journalist Michel Auger of the Journal de Montreal. "Maybe business is good there. But this is what they have been doing for a long time." On Thursday, Niagara Regional Police led a joint forces undercover operation that resulted in six women being arrested for prostitution at Private Eyes strip club in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Four of the women arrested are associated with the Bo-Gars, said Det. Sgt. Jim Leigh who the NRP morality unit. Police said they learned last week sex was for sale at the Highway 55 strip club. Leigh said the joint forces guns and gangs enforcement unit - made up of police from Niagara, Brantford, Halton and Hamilton police forces - sent undercover officers back to the club Thursday night. At about 9 p.m., they arrested six women, one of whom are from Niagara Falls, one from St. Catharines, one from Toronto and three from Montreal. All are charged with communicating for the purpose of prostitution. Leigh, who said the investigation is ongoing and police now have their eyes on another strip club in Toronto, said he could not elaborate on the specifics of the relationship two of the women have with the Bo-Gars. However, the link to the Bo-Gars now has police investigating just how involved the gang is in Niagara and Toronto. "Do they have a cell here? No. Are they involved in Niagara? Yes, they have a sporadic presence because they are involved in adult entertainment venues and Niagara has quite a few of those venues," said NRP Staff Sgt. George Ravenek of the intelligence unit. "As a result of what (the morality unit) found last week, we are looking into gang involvement at these venues." According to Auger, whose coverage of organized crime led to a biker trying to kill him in 2000, prostitution is one of the street gang's primary sources of income. The gang's 20-year history is written with bullets and blood. The Bo-Gars have been involved in vicious turf battles in Quebec and have been connected to at least half a dozen killings in Montreal this year alone, Auger said. In 2002, several members of the gang were involved in the kidnapping, beating and robbery of rapper Jean Herby Charles, who goes by the stage name "Metal Storm," at a Niagara Falls strip club. Charles was dragged from Seductions strip club in Niagara Falls and taken by gang members to the Ameri-Cana Hotel, where he was robbed. Charles escaped by bursting into a wedding reception at the hotel. Three members of the gang were found guilty of assault, possession of stolen property and violating probation. They were banned from Niagara for two years by a St. Catharines judge. Lyndsay Logan, 20, of St. Catharines, Emily Carew, 20, of Toronto, Veronique Boutin, 24, of Montreal, Melanie Loranger from Montreal, Christine Burley, Emilie Tremblay from Montreal, all 24 and are charged with communication for the purposes of prostitution. Logan and Burley are charged with a second count of prostitution. Burley and Loranger also face possession of a controlled substance charges. All six women were released from custody and were ordered not to visit any adult entertainment parlour in Niagara. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest katia Report post Posted April 6, 2008 I had few very young ladies who called for help in the past few months. These street gangs member claimed their girls independent. I can tell you at least one of the travelling independent group agency is own by them. These girls have been ruined $ cause they are pimp and they take much more than regular agency... Really sad! I can only refer them to my friends police investigators and now he is taking care of that. The bad Chinese mafia does that kind of stuff too, but they are more discreet.
