> Vancouver police say 47 men — including a retired school
teacher, a former school trustee and a firefighter — were
arrested during a two-month operation last year targeting people
allegedly willing to pay teenagers for sex acts.
>
> On Thursday, deputy chief Const. Laurence Rankin said the
operation began with detectives posting fake ads on escort
websites and social media platforms. Those who responded were
told, by text, they were chatting with a girl between 15 and 17
years old.
>
> Rankin said the "vast majority" of men backed off after that,
but 47 wanted to meet up.
>
> Hotel meetings were set up once age, sex act and fee were
established, he said. The men were arrested after showing up,
apparently expecting something sexual as arranged, but running
into police officers instead.
> [....]
> Seven of the men, including the former teacher and trustee,
have been charged with obtaining for consideration the sexual
services of a person under the age of 18. Police said they are
working with the Crown to lay more charges.
>
> Rankin said the men arrested come from "all walks of life,"
and declined to provide names for all of them, because some
haven't gone before the courts.
>
> He said there's no evidence to indicate the men knew each
other. At least one, he said, was a tourist. Another was "a
member of an outlaw motorcycle gang."
>
> The Crown, however, confirmed the names of the seven who have
been charged:
>
> Mario Celo Amistad.
> Jim Malmros.
> Jun Jie He.
> Nikolaos Dais.
> Donald Schroeder.
> Kenneth Clement.
> Mehran Arefi.
> Those men's ages range from 24 to 68 years old.
>
> Nikolaos Dais, one of the men, previously taught at
Vancouver's Little Flower Academy but is now retired, according
to the school's principal, Diane Little.
>
> She declined to say when Dais taught at the private, girls'
Catholic school, but said the news is "shocking." Little said
the school was notified by police.
>
> A school website lists Dais as the head coach of the Grade 8
basketball team during the 2016-17 season.
>
> Kenneth Clement, another man facing charges, is a former
trustee with the Vancouver School Board who retired in June. He
pleaded not guilty on Dec. 7, 2018, and his trial is set to
begin on Oct. 29, 2019.
>
> A statement from the VSB said the district was not made aware
of his arrest.
> [....]
> Rankin, who has 31 years of experience, said he was surprised
at how easy it was to find targets.
>
> "It wasn't very difficult. What's shocking … is we're looking
at potentially hundreds of chat streams that were occurring over
the social media platforms with the police officers that were
posting as teenage girls. They had to turn down people."
>
> He said not all men who responded to the ads were interested
in underage girls.
>
> "The vast majority of the men that were seeking sex industry
workers were looking for adult females, so the vast majority
would turn down the offer. What's disconcerting is the small
group of men … who discovered the person they were communicating
with was underage and were excited about that."
>
> Rankin stressed that no real teenagers were involved in the
sting. Photos used in the online ads were composites generated
by a computer.
>
> Lawrence Myers, a criminal defence lawyer in Vancouver, said
that often in cases where victims are vulnerable, the public can
"understandably develop a lynch mob mentality."
>
> "We all know that unless there's [that message] of the
presumption of innocence, these people are condemned forever in
our community and the community at large," he said.
>
> "I'm very concerned on a lot of levels that we are very
careful not to rush to judgment. It's merely an allegation, and
that's just one step in a very long process."
