Trial Waits For Sex Trade Ruling

A trial regarding the operation of a brothel on Waterloo Street being postponed until a decision is made on the state of Canada's prostitution laws.

An Ontario Superior Court judge ruling in September that laws banning bawdy houses actually endangered sex workers by forcing them to work on the street.

The lawyer of 50-year-old Yen Nei Lee and 49-year-old Yen Nei Lo asking they not be tried until October in hopes the Ontario Court of Appeal will make a ruling on the laws.

Lee and Lo were charged in February for running a brothel out of the Sun Flower Spa on Waterloo Street.
