Claim filed in the province’s supreme court alleges the couple employed an underage teen for escort services on three separate occasions over a single week in 2017
British Columbia’s director of civil forfeiture is taking steps to seize thousands of dollars from a couple accused of running a brothel in Richmond that was alleged to have used a 13-year-old as a prostitute.
The court document says police searched the property and seized firearms, ammunition, Canadian and U.S. cash valued at nearly $20,000 and a “score book” listing female names, services rendered and prices.The civil claim alleges Riza Nasayao Dela Fuente and her husband, Peter Ross Nelson, ran the bawdy house, employing the teen on at least three separate occasions in a single week in 2017, paying her approximately $1,000 for escort services.
The couple has not provided a response to the civil claim and none of the allegations has been proven in court. “Mr. Nelson and Ms. Dela Fuente obtained the money by participating in the unlawful activity,” the lawsuit says.
