But no mention about the fate of the client in question. Depending on how services were described in court, there's a strong possibility he'll face criminal charges.

There’s a twelve month statue of limitation on the offence of Solicitation as per S. 213 of the Criminal Code, as it’s a summary conviction. What he did was very wrong, and I’m glad to see the small claims court decision. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt there's a statute of limitation in regard to the purchase of sexual services. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
