A great letter from Grant Brown..

You might have seen the story in which a woman was cleared of pimping charges in Winipeg. Here's a letter by Grant Brown to the National Post:

Justice John Scurfield determined that 41-year-old Natalie Matinet steered a troubled 13-year-old runaway toward a life of drugs and sex for money. "There is no doubt that she contributed to the corruption and destruction of a young girl's life," he says, before acquitting the woman.
