No. He was acquitted of the allegation of co-perpetration or aiding and abetting promotion of prostitution.
Motifs extraits
The federal court had held that the conduct of requiring disclosure of earnings and handing over half did not amount to a sufficiently determining influence on the women’s sexual self-determination. The retrial court therefore had to acquit on that count.
