Special Victims, Toronto Sex Crimes Unit information
If you have had a bad date, unless it is an emergency situation, (in which case call 911), it’s not always the best idea to go to, or phone your local police station to report it. The treatment you receive there may be indifferent, bad or good.

SPOC strongly recommends calling and / or going to see the people at Special Victims, Toronto Sex Crimes Unit.

Over the past 4 years, Special Victims Unit has been doing a lot of good work with sex worker organizations, including SPOC, in a genuine effort to help us with regard to bad clients.

They are not interested in your previous criminal record (if you have one). They’re also very good about any outstanding warrants you may have. Experience with them so far, (June 2009) is that unless warrants are for homicide, they’re not interested. Special Victims Unit has been very sensitive to sex workers situations and concerns.

Also, they won’t pressure you to charge the bad client if you’re unsure about or are unable to do so. Special Victims Unit is interested in, and now keeps a data base on reported bad clients, so that if you are unable to charge him for whatever reason, someone else down the road may. All reports are important in helping them build cases against bad clients.

The best go-to people at Special Victims Unit are:
Detective Wendy Leaver. Direct line: 416-808-7446.
(Note to Det. Leaver, please do not retire).
Detective Constable Leanne Marchan. Direct line: 416-808-7454
Special Victims Unit phone number is: 416-808-7474.
Their 24hr cell is: 416-456-7259.

Also, they now have a Bad Date hotline. It’s an anonymous voicemail. If you just want to phone in the info, and nothing more, the number is 416-808-0000.
