Military police are threatening to charge a sex worker who offers discounts to Canadian soldiers and senior leaders are warning troops to stay away from the Kingston-area woman.

But such efforts have backfired and sex worker Christina Lea Gilchrist tells this newspaper that she is being inundated with messages from military personnel interested in the services she provides.

The selling of sex in Canada is legal but military police allege Gilchrist broke the law with the β€œunlawful use of military uniforms,” according to police documents.

According to her IG page she posted on the candian forces Reddit about a soldier who removed the condom during intercourse. She was banned for that, and on a totally "unrelated" case threatened to charge her for waring a uniform on her site.

So this is retaliation, cowardice, and face-saving bullshit.

Most likely.

Sadly, that sounds like them.

I'm sure a ton of military uniforms involve a camo skirt

Lol, command should get fucked. It might reduce their stress levels.

Honestly, we need to bring sex workers into the normal business world so they can have all the protections under the law.

You're thinking of the American military.

Must be tough being a sex worker when you're a floating torso.

So the military is now trying to dictate what us civilians do and wear and who we fuck? Go eat shit Canadian military

Militaries are really touchy about uniforms. And they are telling their employees what is expected of them within the guidelines that they are able to.

If she isn't impersonating a member of the military, they really can't do anything but bluster about that. But they can charge any member with conduct unbecoming if they are found to have used her services, if found out.

They never said civilians are prohibited from contracting her services.

Employ that reading comprehension.

"...even though so many people in this office are begging for it"

I think it was a pretty big fuck up for the military to handle it this way.

But at the same time isn't it very common for espionage to happen through prostitution? Prostitutes collecting the badge information of their military customers is legitimately the sort of thing that's a huge intelligence risk.

She's probably now under significant csis communications surveillance. It's actually a little surprising that they sent a memo to the Forces instead of finding a good way of blackmailing her to get her to stop. I'm not saying that's what they should have done, just that it's a little surprising they didn't.

I don't know how they ought to have handled this, but I think they should have done better.
