Re: Warning for the girls!!
Apparently one of the assailants was a woman, too. Bastards!
This makes me angry.. if anyone thinks you can get away with ANY kind of assault just because of our occupation, you are sadly mistaken! Our little community is fiercely protective and we WILL go to the police. One way or another you will get what's coming to you!! We are NOT targets, victims or objects for any non-consenting acts... and it might surprise you to know (just in case this isn't enough of a warning) that many of us are MORE than capable of defending ourselves.. ZERO TOLLERANCE for this kind of BS oK.. I feel better now! |

Jorja, very well-said! If EC had a "like" button, I would have clicked it a 100 times!

Re: Warning for the girls!!
Update!!
Couple sentenced for shaking down London sex workers Amar Youssef and Thomas Lako are like a local version of Bonnie and Clyde on a much smaller, vicious scale. Instead of banks, they worked together to shake down local sex trade workers they knew would have lots of cash on hand and little incentive to report the crimes to police. But modern technology ? namely the inner workings of a cell phone ? helped nab the young couple who robbed four escorts in August. Youssef, 20, and Lako, 23, pleaded guilty to four armed robberies Thursday and were each sentenced to three years in prison. Lako is an African immigrant with a Grade 10 education. Youssef was working at the Youth Opportunities Unlimited cafe and taking college courses when she plotted with Lako. Assistant Crown attorney Tim Zuber relayed an agreed set of facts to Ontario Court Justice John Skowronski about the couple?s violent scheme played out last August. Each time, Lako and Youssef would answer an online ad on an escorting website called *************. The sex trade worker would receive a text message to meet the client at a London address. One woman was invited to an Emery St. W. apartment. When she knocked on the door, no one answered. She returned to her car and sent a text to the client. Just as she was closing the door, Lako grabbed it and Youssef climbed into the passenger seat. ?Don?t f---ing move. I need to delete the number,? Lako told the woman and grabbed her cellphone. When she screamed for help and tried to run away, Lako punched her in the face. The escort got out of the car and ran across the street, while Lako and Youssef fled. A witness called 911 and gave a description of the couple. The escort had a black eye and swollen lip. Her cell phone had been stolen. Lako and Youssef pulled the stunt once more that day and twice the next day. The following day, Lako put a knife to an escort?s throat, threatening to stab her if she didn?t give up her purse. When the escort refused, Youssef piped up, ?Then f---ing stab her,? before Lako ripped the purse away, taking $500 ? much of it later recovered ? and her cell phone. Another escort, who came forward later after reading about the robberies in the newspaper, was jumped while she smoked a cigarette outside her car. Lako held a knife to the woman?s cheek and took $120, while Youssef took the woman?s phone, deleted the phone number and the text conversation. Then she gave the phone back. The police tracked the couple by examining the hard copy of text messages sent between one escort and the potential couple. The client?s phone number was associated with Youssef. Lako was later identified through a photo lineup. Both Lako and Youssef have prior criminal records. Lako?s defence lawyer Ko Bhamra said her client was apologetic, calling it ?desperate acts from desperate individuals.? Youssef?s defence lawyer Marcia Hilliard said her client was remorseful. Youssef plans to continue her education while behind bars. Only one of the escorts provided a victim impact statement. Skowronski called the matter ?very troubling? and said he was aware he was ?sentencing two very young people to prison.? He accepted the joint sentencing submission from the Crown and the defence. Another case ?A sex trade worker received a text from a man who said he wanted to hire her. ?She went to an apartment on Commissioners Rd. and knocked on the door of a unit. There was no answer. ?Amar Youssef and Thomas Lako were in the elevator the worker took down to the main floor. ?The couple took her wallet containing $120 and her cell phone. ?Youssef put a knife to the woman?s stomach and said, ?Don?t be smart with me or I will stab you.? http://www.lfpress.com/2014/11/06/co...wn-sex-workers |

Re: Warning for the girls!!
Glad they are behind bars!
I saw Lolitta shortly after the incident she was involved in and she said she would continue to work and that it wouldn't stop her from what she intended on doing- though she would take measures to be even safer moving forward. I see she's now gone from EC. Hope she returns at some point, I always enjoyed her company. |

Re: Warning for the girls!!
If Lako is an immigrant send his ass back home, don't put him (or her) in the Crowbar Motel for a free ride for 3 years.

Re: Warning for the girls!!
That's a slippery slope Dave. I hope you don't really mean to suggest anything by that comment. Anybody can be an asshole. Where they come from or the colour of their skin has nothing to do with anything.

Re: Warning for the girls!!
Edited my post so I don't offend anybody. It's just, to me at least, we've taken 400 years to get the country we love and cherish, and to have people come here and not abide by our laws or want to change thing to the way it was back home (honor killings, Sharah (?sp) Law), whatever, just burns my ass.
