(PUBLICATION BAN IN CASE) (SEALING ORDER) (CERTAIN INFORMATION NOT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC)
A complainant and her romantic partner solicited the assistance of Mr. Ochrym in a scheme to provide her sexual services for consideration in motels. Mr. Ochrym drove the complainant from her home to the motel, brought her to the motel room using back entrances, and left. He brought her food or necessities when asked. He either gave his phone to the complainant’s partner to post ads online or posted ads online himself. He was convicted of procuring another person to provide sexual services for consideration and of advertising sexual services for consideration. The Court of Appeal allowed an appeal, set aside the convictions and ordered a new trial.
