She left Ukraine and hoped her Canadian hosts would help her start a new life. Instead she faced a new nightmare. Liza Kravchenko, 19, alleges that a London couple proposed erotic webcam “modelling” while hosting her in their home.
, Liza Kravchenko says, she always dreamed of coming to Canada, “a free country with kind people,” to build a different life than the one she would’ve had in the small city of Chernivtsi.Kravchenko, 19, alleges that Mary Ann Babiera and Juan Varela of London, Ont., proposed erotic webcam “modelling” to her as a way to earn income after she arrived in Canada, while hosting her in their home.
London police Const. Sandasha Bough confirmed with the Star in early April that there was an active investigation looking into multiple complaints about the man and woman without providing further details. On April 13, Bough said the investigation was complete and there were no grounds for criminal charges.
“I thought I connect with her more times and then I will decide if it’s right or not,” Kravchenko said. Over the course of Kravchenko’s three-week stay, Babiera also sent her explicit photos of other men and young women in messages shared with the Star. The Star was shown text conversations between Kravchenko and Babiera where the latter said “Ukrainian models are making ... $450 American dollars per day,” for posting erotic content.
Birau told the Star she felt she had to help. After speaking with Kravchenko, she said, “I’m going to go with you, take your clothes and move you.” The two packed Kravchenko’s belongings, barely closing the suitcase in their haste to leave.
