Former prostitute calls for trafficking strategy
http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2.../18549991.html
"It's hard with the economy. I could get one phone call from a john and I could make $1,000 right now," she said. "When you see a girl and she's walking down the street and she's got her long hair extensions, her big boots and Louis Vuitton bag, she might look happy but if she's not putting on that fabricated smile and acting like she's all into it, she's not getting her money then she might get beat by a pimp.

Dumped without a care
The body of missing Orangeville nurse Sonia Varaschin was discovered in a field along Beech Grove Sideroad last September. Six months later, the body of a 20-year-old escort – Kera Freeland – turned up in a Heart Lake Road ditch.

Women whose lives came to tragic ends and were left on the back roads of Caledon, where extremely large land masses and darkened sideroads are prevalent in a farming community of 57,000.

Caledon, it seems, has become somewhat of a dumping ground. And people are getting away with it.

Another sex trade worker, Ottawa this time:

Lawson’s “street mother,” who didn’t want her name used because she’s wanted by police in four provinces, said she found out Saturday morning the 23-year-old had died.

“I should have been able to protect her,” she said.

Police sources say Lawson worked as a prostitute to feed her drug addiction. Sauder admitted her sister wasn’t perfect, but said Lawson was kind.

Not sure if this is related but I instantly thought of Kera when I heard about this poor woman:

A 23-year-old Winnipeg woman who moved to Toronto a few months ago was found shot to death on an isolated street near the city’s waterfront early Tuesday.

Her name is Leanne Freeman and she is young and from the West. SHe came to Toronto to start a new life. I don't know anything else i.e. if she was an escort, etc. She was shot. I can't remember if the cause of death was released in Kera's case.

Ironic that both girls came here from Winnipeg and one is named Freeman and the other is named Freeland.

I wonder if they think this is the same guy,

OTTAWA — Police Chief Vern White issued a warning to all sex trade workers Friday, saying "a pattern" is developing with violence in the city.

http://www.thespec.com/news/local/article/110451--killer-targeting-sex-trade-workers
"Hrab would not discuss specific details of the homicide but said the second sex trade worker was killed in a city in the GTA less than a month after the brutal stabbing of a 36-year-old Hamilton sex trade worker in the summer.

On July 19, a blue-eyed man in his 30s with either a shaved head or naturally bald, pulled up to the woman at Barton and James around 1 a.m. She agreed to perform oral sex and got into the man's dark green Volkswagen Golf or Jetta."



"Sex trade workers are assaulted on a weekly basis, Hrab said. "They're easy prey ... and a lot of these guys have serious issues with women."

Sex trade workers have few tools to help protect them. They share information and warnings among themselves through a "bad tricks" list and pass on information to police through support groups.

Some sex workers have started keeping licence plate number lists of their johns, which police have scoured in their investigation.

Hamilton police say they need sex trade workers to pass on any information that could help hunt down a serial predator. If the women don't want to contact police directly, they should pass the information on through their support groups.

"Identifying this suspect is very important because he is definitely intent on harming his victims," Hrab said."
