Ministry of Children and Family Development failed to remove her from Spruce Street home despite her pleas, according to notice of claim
A Prince George woman has filed a lawsuit against the provincial government in which she alleges the Ministry of Children and Family Services failed to come to her aid when she was coerced into prostitution as a 15-year-old girl.
While there, she was connected to criminals who operated a prostitution enterprise out of a home on Spruce Street and through a combination drugs, alcohol and "various means of coercion, violence and threats" she was forced into "a life of prostitution and drug use." The woman is claiming breaches of care and fiduciary duty and that, as a result of the ministry's failure to act upon her complaints, she "fell into a devastating life of addiction, violence and prostitution" until she was in her early 20s. After a period of incarceration, she was able to recover from that lifestyle and is no longer consuming drugs or alcohol.
