RCMP called him a sex-trafficking 'ringleader.' He wants an apology and $100M (www.cbc.ca)

Daegun Chun, accused by Quebec RCMP of being the mastermind of a Canada-wide human-smuggling network, is now suing the force and Quebec's attorney general for $100 million after all charges against him were stayed.

Chun was arrested in Toronto in 2015, then flown to Montreal and paraded in front of TV cameras before a press conference alleging he was the head of a trafficking ring that forced as many as 500 women into prostitution in various Canadian cities.

The Quebec Crown prosecutor who brought the charges said at the time there was "overwhelming evidence" in the case.

After all the fanfare over Chun's arrest, Crown prosecutors quietly stayed all charges against him in 2018.

Chun originally filed his lawsuit in 2019, but it has been delayed several times as both the RCMP and the Quebec attorney general have tried to have it tossed on procedural grounds.

As always, ACAB.

And fuck the Quebec Crown prosecutors involved in this BS.
