Vancouver sex assault suspect faces new charges quote: VANCOUVER - Ten new charges were laid Thursday against Don Bakker, a Vancouver man accused of sexually assaulting six prostitutes. Bakker is now accused of 16 offences, including sexual assault with a weapon, sex assault causing bodily harm, assault and unlawful confinement.
I'm kind of curious as to why this hasn't gotten much, if any attention on rabble/babble, but maybe I just couldn't find anything in searches. [edited to add: i wasn't sure where this should go... so i put it here. if it's in the wrong place, sorry] [ 22 January 2004: Message edited by: wizkid ] [ 24 January 2004: Message edited by: wizkid ]

It concerns me that the abused women never came forward. It makes me wonder how much of this is really going on. (Probably a painfully naive question to a sex-trade worker.)I don't care how much media attention this matter gets. I do care how much of the police and prosecutor's attention it gets. How can we beat these men out of the woodwork? How many of them are out there? Did anyone see the CBS report on the child sex tourism trade in Cambodia this weekend? It was frightening.
