Ontario Appeal Court strikes down ban on brothels

Recommended Posts

The bawdy house provisions have always been far too broad, covering everything from a single individual working out of their home to a full scale brothel. I hope the government will use some sense if they redraft the laws and focus on the exploitation factor. There really isn't anything the bawdy house laws accomplish that can't be achieved through a redrafted living off the avails provision. It always seemed to me that if there was exploitation going on you were only punishing the victims if you charged the service providers with being found in a bawdy house. If there wasn't exploitation you were charging them for engaging in an otherwise legal activity.
