… I was no threat,” she says of having her home taken away while she was a heroin addict and oblivious to the legislation in place to strip a person of their primary asset. “I wasn’t doing anything illegal. I am not a criminal.”
Shortly before her home was seized, Sullivan, 42, had it boarded up and stayed with friends. She says she did that to get away from the parade of greaseballs — some fleeing the law, others with stolen property they wanted to fence, others simply looking for a warm place to stay and do drugs.
Sullivan was given a chance to contest the forfeiture, but no one in the legal community seemed interested, she said.
Sullivan’s house was the first in Vancouver to be forfeited under the Civil Forfeiture Act. Vancouver police gave a detailed account of the site they claimed was known for drug dealing, violence and prostitution, and used as a staging area for robberies around the Lower Mainland.

… Because it is privately and on the Internet they might be tempted to try it,” said Sowden. “It is opening up different types of youth being exploited and different types of people trying it. “There are customers who might not normally be the typical customer who would go and pick someone up on the street.”
In January, the Vancouver police’s vice unit and the Coquitlam-based Children of the Street Society launched Predator Watch.ca,a public-awareness campaign aimed at deterring those who use the Internet to prey on children and youth.
However, Sowden said, despite attempts for almost a year to get Craigslist to address the issue, she has failed to get the site even to add a warning that people soliciting or selling underage sex could be caught by undercover police.
Sowden first tried contacting Craigslist founder Craig Newmark when he was in Vancouver last April and his company was under fire over the so-called “Craigslist murder,” in which Boston University student Philip Markoff was charged with killing masseuse Julissa Brisman, who had placed a Craigslist ad offering erotic massage.

Sullivan’s house was the first in Vancouver to be forfeited under the Civil Forfeiture Act. In referring the home to the B.C. Civil Forfeiture Office, Vancouver police gave a detailed account of the site they claimed was known for drug dealing, violence and prostitution, and used as a staging area for robberies around the Lower Mainland.
Insp. Brad Desmarais of the gang and drug section says police were at the home constantly, and fed-up residents were demanding action.
“That home was a chronic problem for the police,” said Desmarais. “There were over 500 calls to police (over a five-year period).”

“If someone is an irresponsible landlord and running a flop house where there’s prostitution and drugs, and if the courts believe they know or ought to know and chose not to do anything about it, then they act.”

Fernando Antonio Benavidez, 31, Ronald Handwerk, 35, Rogelio Leon Zuniga, 33, and siblings Robert Lee Dunson, 27, and Jackie Lynn Dunson, 33, have been charged.
The prosecution is seeking the death penalty for three of the accused in the murder: Robert Dunson, Handwerk and Zuniga.
The two others could face life in prison without the possibility of parole, said Michael Jeandron, spokesman for the Office of the District Attorney of Riverside County in California.
A judge determined this week during a preliminary hearing that there was sufficient evidence for a trial in the case.
The district attorney alleges that the defendants set out to rob and kill Dobbs.
Court documents obtained by The Vancouver Sun allege that Benavides lured Dobbs to the apartment of Jackie Dunson, his ex-girlfriend and a prostitute, after meeting the Canadian at a casino in Coachella.

Virtual Vancouver is one of UV’s worlds, but it isn’t nearly as popular as its main attraction, Red Light Center, which is primarily marketed as an adult site on largely porn website. The majority of its new users join for the sexual aspects. Very little in UV caters towards art, music, entertainment, and business. Unlike Second Life, you’re not going to see galleries or concerts and the limited building options and inability to write scripts means there are very few business options (i.e. virtual prostitution, DJing, limited clothing design for avatars that cannot be customized, and limited home decorating); UV’s platform simply isn’t sophisticated enough to handle it. And that image is a false representation; the avatars DO NOT look like that.

Olympics Boosted Brothels’ Business in Vancouver
Business at a brother near downtown Vancouver tripled during the Winter Olympics. n However, instead of a surge of foreign visitors, the brothel’s owner, Sexy Nina, said that she found that local clients were excited by the Games’ competitive spirit.
She told AOL News:
“The Games gave us the desire and willingness to connect, the energy to move. What an amazing two weeks!”
Interestingly, some street workers reported that business was slow. The slowdown in street business, however, could possibly be blamed on increased police presence.
Sex work is legal in Vancouver, but some associated activities, such as running a brothel, is not. However, the Vancouver Police Department tends to leave sex workers alone.

And more than likely it will be a goal.
Crosby, who at 26 has already won a Stanley Cup with the Pittsburgh Penguins, brought the puck down the ice against the United States team about 8 minutes into sudden-death overtime.
Crosby passed the puck over to teammate Jarome Iginia, who battled U.S. defenseman Ryan Suter for the puck. As Crosby hovered around the net, like a dog looking for a bone, he took the feed from Iginia and fired a Crosby special past Ryan Miller, the best player in the Winter Olympic men’s ice hockey tournament.
As the puck entered the red light district, Crosby began his celebration that set off a celebration for an entire nation. It was threefold – a celebration, a relief and the climax to one of the greatest hockey games ever played.
