Seven snared in downtown Abbotsford prostitution sting A
bbotsford police have arrested seven men on prostitutionrelated charges as part of a john sting operation recently. Members of the department’s bike and beat squads implemented the two-day project in response to ongoing concerns from local businesses and residents regarding the sex trade in the downtown and Clearbrook Road areas.
Police set out to target men who buy sex from woman suffering from drug addiction, Sgt. Casey Vinet said. “We are happy with the results but also recognize the persistent nature of the problem,” he said. The men arrested were from 24 to 63 years old. Five of those arrested are Abbotsford residents, one is from Mission and one from
Calgary. Vinet said investigators determined through interviews that the men were not first-time consumers of sex for money from street prostitutes, and often purchased sex in other cities. The men arrested during the project were released on appearance notices, and depending on the circumstances and background of each offender, Vinet said that
individuals may be given the option to attend “john school.” Vinet described the school as a program designed to educate men apprehended by police who attempt to purchase sex, or have previously purchased sex. The hope, he said, is that by teaching the legal and health effects of buying sex and presenting the realities of prostitution, police and sup-
porters of the program will reduce the demand. Vinet warned that Abbotsford police would be implementing more stings in the near future. “A warning to potential johns: if you are buying sex from street prostitutes you should be aware the person you are talking to may be a police officer.” – RAFE ARNOTT/TIMES
