‘If they don’t do it right the first time, it’s going to have repercussions for this kind of sting operation.’
Nine months after Vancouver police launched a child sex sting that caught 47 suspects, investigators have recommended charges against only seven of them.
Police arrested the 47 men during the sting over nine days from June to November last year. The seven charged each face one count of obtaining the sexual services of a person under 18 after Vancouver police set up an online sting in which an officer posed as a girl between 15 and 17 years old to arrange a sex act for money with dozens of men.
In B.C., the B.C. Prosecution Service must approve charges recommended by police, based on their likelihood of succeeding at trial, among other factors.
