Layton found in bawdy house: Ex-cop

TORONTO - Jack Layton was found laying naked on a bed by Toronto Police at a suspected Chinatown bawdy house in 1996, a retired Toronto police officer told the Toronto Sun.

The stunning revelation about the current leader of the New Democratic Party comes days before the federal election at a time when his popularity is soaring.

When the policeman and his partner walked into a second-floor room at the Toronto massage parlour, they saw an attractive 5-foot-10 Asian woman who was in her mid-20s and the married, then-Metro councillor, lying on his back in bed.

Layton was cautioned by police and released without being charged.

Olivia Chow, Layton's wife, denied her husband had done anything wrong in an e-mail statement late Friday night.

"Sixteen years ago, my husband went for a massage at a massage clinic that is registered with the City of Toronto," Chow wrote. "He exercises regularly; he was and remains in great shape; and he needed a massage.

"I knew about this appointment, as I always do."

In a letter from his lawyer, Layton recalls "being advised by police at the time that he did nothing wrong."

What police say happened on Jan. 9, 1996, was recorded in the former cop's notebook, which was reviewed and photocopied by the Toronto Sun.

Its sounds like the Conservative Party were behind this story being leaked.

Have you considered being a lawyer CG :

 

[Royal Racer]

No... I generally have great disdain for liars, I mean lawyers.

Besides, I'm far too nice a guy to be a lawyer.

 

[Jack 890]

I concur.....lawyers...i try to avoid them as much as possible....

 

[BellaBeatle]

Good for Jack, but I still won't vote for him/NDP.

I'd rather keep more of my hard-earned dollars and give it directly to ladies of my choosing.

 

[Black Delilah]

Well then, Jack/John now has my vote. :great:

 

[bossglaus]

They have no idea how many pooners are in Canada. Will backfire on them as he also has my vote.

 

[Ayameko]

Jack for Premier :tongue:

 

[talia]

I'd rather do his wife.

 

[jase25064342]

Looks like Jack got his Happy Ending... Leader of the Opposition!

Stornoway, here he cums!

And Jack, if you are reading this, (he could be a member LOL), perhaps an outcall from now on? :tongue:

 

[Saber-Kid]

He'll feel right at home in subsidized housing. :he:

 

[angelfishcuriouscat]

I just read this story too and sure, it was an EX cop that came forward but who is to say why he came forward? It is relatively easy to do a search to see if a person's name has ever appeared in any police document......

As one of the comments stated on the sun website: he wasn't charged, or found guilty, so why is this even on the records?

Further to that, seems like their attempt at discrediting him didn't work.....just saying is all......

The only time something like this would affect my vote is if the person was all adamant about being anti- something then was found to be partaking of that which he was opposed to. For eg, those harpies in the US who are all anti pot and anti gay then we find out they are actually gay themselves. Same goes for the religious fanatics then we find out they're seeing hookers on a weekly basis.....
