Description
July 9 Montréal The Gazette published a sensational "special report" on teenage prostitution, claiming that up to 5,000 male and female juvenile prostitutes worked in the city. The article was sparked by a report prepared by the Québec Ministry of Justice; it had hired Charles Roy, a social worker, to go undercover for five months to investigate juvenile prostitution in Montréal.
