Another escort detained at the border

[TorontoDrew]

There is another story about a Canadian escort detained at the border.  Here is  link to the story:

While I do sympathize a bit I have to give my head a shake.  He had a phone with client messages who he may be meeting with.  He tries to differentiate between escorting and prostitution by saying it's for time only, yet he has an ad on RM listing sexual ads.  He also has reviews of encounters with clients in the US.

Like I said, I do sympathize somewhat but wonder where he has been for the last year.  There have been a lot of stories of this happening and he didn't appear to learn from any of them.

I have a younger artist friend who is dating a sex worker he met in Europe. Europe is the sw's home address. The sw has an ad. He also has a U.S. passport. The last time he tried to visit NYC, he was refused entry, and had to do a return flight immediately, at his own expense. TSA told him his name is on a list. I don't know all the facts, but something was said about not letting sex workers into the country to make tax free earnings. Elections have consequences, more than ever before.

The LGBTQ Nation article, as biased and one-sided as it is, clearly intended to garner as much sympathy as possible for Myles, succinctly states the US law: 
"According to U.S. travel law, any individual coming to the U.S. to engage in prostitution or who has done so in the past 10 years is prohibited from entry. Travelers found inadmissible due to sex work can be banned from entry for up to ten years, as is the case with Myles."

If you are a guest in someone's home, you either follow their rules or find somewhere else to stay. Period. End of discussion.
Myles tried to enter the US under false pretenses, He got caught red-handed. He had to have known that there was a chance that would happen. Now he needs to put on his big boy pants and deal with the consequences.

This part of his story is not believable.

Every country MUST accept their own citizens upon arrival.  You can even be accepted if your passport is out of date. Citizenship GUARANTEES entry.  

If he was traveling to the US and he is a citizen, he should have been carrying his US passport, otherwise he would have needed to show a valid visa. 

[TJMS]

Protectionism for the home crowd! I really know nothing about how this works for foreign escorts. My assumption is that they announce that they are here on vacation or visiting family or friends. Can someone knowledgeable explain if there is another way they try to gain entry? Since as BTC points out, the law is pretty clear, and I assume other nations have similar restrictions (except the Vatican!)

Agreed. I actually got a bit angry reading the article as he was trying to frame it as he'd done nothing wrong when he clearly had. I know a few providers who travel to the US without issue as they understand the rules and know how to work within them.

[Luv2play]

I find the whole scene at the US border regrettable. Things have changed so radically from when I was a frequent traveller. Glad I got to live in more hassle free times.

The article states he is a Canadian citizen:

In all his previous flights to the U.S., the process was relatively hassle-free. Miles is a Canadian citizen with no criminal record and is part of the NEXUS program, which expedites entry into the U.S. and Canada. He’s never had an issue crossing the border, so when U.S. Customs at Toronto’s Pearson Airport brought him to a secondary screening, Miles knew something was off.

----

The odd thing to me is I messaged him on RM about a year ago to see about him coming over to Buffalo from Toronto for a session at my place. I don't have the messages anymore from RM but he said basically he doesn't travel here at all. At that time he had all his face pics viewable, now they are all blurred. Which is odd because at this point who cares as he can't come over for sure now.

Something doesn't sound right. I have cousins in Canada and friends there and they have no trouble getting into the US.

He got banned because he admitted to having come here in the past and provided escorting services for money.

He's done porn here multiple times over several years.

[TJMS]

Why would he say that? Not smart!

[TJMS]

I can't imagine going to another country and telling the border folks that I'm here to escort.  Just makes no good sense. I'm here on vacation or I'm here to see family and friends.

From the article:

He said he was interrogated for hours and basically admitted to it so it could be over. Also in the article he said they let him go the first time but missed his flight so he rescheduled it for the next day. They insinuated though that if he came back he'd be subject to it again. He should have never gone back the next day.

[TJMS]

Being interrogated for hours? Something still doesn't sound right. I wonder if someone reported him for some reason, a vendetta perhaps?

It's not likely that. The US government, like many other countries,  is using facial recognition at the border. His face pics used to be unblurred on RM so they are likely in the database. That has been discussed in the forum a few times. That likely got him flagged for secondary screening. It was the messages with clients on his phone that confirmed to them that he was going to engage in prostitution. 

He might have avoided it by carrying a burner phone and reloading his apps later. But being in the database really hurt. It's why I message people with new ads to delete any face pics.

Milo's face is blurred now but it's too late. The links to his Twitter profile and OF page don't help either.

 

[DMICS]

In 2026 this still happening to veteran providers and/or content creators is inexcusable. There's been plenty stories of this happening over the past 5 or so years. Now with facial recognition, A.I. searches it's even easier to find things if you're not on top of protect your privacy in this industry. You literally have to separate your personal and work lives from phones, to names, emails, etc. 

Sucks to hear but it is what it is.

Once you're on the no-entry list you can't cross over, at least by flying. I was banned from flying to the U.S. for six years, but did a workaround by driving or taking a bus to Buffalo, then flying out of the airport from there. I'm not sure if that has changed, but land travel is generally more relaxed. 

If you're not on a no-entry list and want to avoid this from happening:

- Blur face pics, noticeable tattoos on Rentmen or keep them behind a private gallery

- Your contact number on RM should not be your personal number...have a secondary number or no number listed at all and give that out via private message

- Get a secondary phone for travel purposes only

- Do not message clients, use any accounts related to sex work on that secondary phone until after you've crossed safely into the U.S.

- If you're bringing a laptop, clear any history tied to sex work, remove any videos, photos etc (or have a secondary/travel laptop)

- Have a regular job or someone who owns a business that can just back you and say you work for them

As someone that was detained at the airport and "banned" for six years I can speak from experience. He was flagged, brought to an interrogation room for a few hours, all his devices were searched where more evidence was found. After the emotional stress he admitted what he was travelling for either to:

A) Get it over with and go back home 

B) Thought there was a chance he could still make his trip 

He didn't willingly tell from he was an escort in the beginning, no one does that. And no one reported him. I'm pretty sure he got flagged when he was at immigration with a counter clerk and they did the facial scan. An alert went off and U.S. officials were called.

I'd love to see how they look lol....Anyways, reading the article Milo went through the exact same thing that happened to me.

 

 

In the mid-2010s I was flying to the U.S. (as usual) to meet friends for an event. A mutual friend of ours is a CEO of a company that does festivals, events etc. So during that time we would go to his events to support. When I got to Pearson airport everything was fine until we got to pre-clearance at U.S. immigration, where everyone is lined up and there's a grid of 4-8 mini cubicles with clerks. I have the clerk my passport, they asked why I was travelling, where do I work etc. They did a facial scan and I guess that set something off. Few mins later an officer came up to the cubicle and asked me to follow him. He told me to sit down in a waiting area and said nothing more. 

The time was ticking and I had a flight catch. Eventually the officer came back out and took me to an interrogation room. He searched my luggage, and asked the same questions as before. Like in the article, the officer asked why I had so many flashy clothes. He asked how much money I had on me, I think I said like $60-$100 USD. That's when things got weird. He asked how much I had in my bank account, savings etc. At that point I felt violated so I told since he knows everything he can go back on his work computer and find out those answers himself because I'm not telling him my private financials. That triggered him and he said I wasn't making my flight. 

Another hour or so later he took me to another area, I guess his actual work area for the officers and he asked me to unlock my phone. He went through it all for another hour or so. Came back and told me that I was travelling to the U.S. to meet up with my friends to DJ a festival and make money and not come back since I *only had a one-way ticket. He stated the only chance I have is the next time I travel to provide utility bills, pay stubs/financials showing I live-work in Canada. I offered to show him right then and there but he didn't want to hear it. He called another officer who escorted me back through pre-clearance and the main gates where everyone was lined up at (to embarass me), emotional and crying, to the airport's main concourse. 

*An ticket attendant saw me broken and asked what happened. When I broke down what happened and showed her my ticket she said the original ticket clerk that helped me only printed out a one-way ticket when I had bought a round-trip ticket. So that plus something else (mistaken identity) got me flagged and on top of that I got an officer who was being unfair and on a power trip. Anyways, she printed me a free round-trip ticket for the following day and told me to try and get as much documentation as I can and come back. I came back early the following day, and just my luck, I got the same officer again. I wasn't thinking (well I thought I was) and had all my documents in PDF files organized on a flash drive. The officer said that won't help, he needs actual paperwork. I told him he clearly has USB ports on his work computer he can check. He didn't want to and once again my flight was missed and I got escorted out the airport again. 

I had went to the U.S. Consulate where I was told I have to visit the U.S. Immigration Office at Pearson, that's only opened on weekends. I'd have to go there and present his case to get reviewed. The whole ordeal drained me so I didn't explore that option. 

I've been travelling regularly to the U.S. since that happened with no issues. Though, I'm definitely concerned as I've seen stories recently that U.S. immigration have increased and intensified searches in the new year. 

As for Milo, because his situation is attached to sex work and making money from it while abroad. I don't think there's anyway he can get it reversed. He's banned from flying into the U.S., though he could potentially still be able to cross over by land but maybe there's tiers/levels of the no-entry list so he may get denied again. It's something he could try.

One guy that I traveled to Toronto with - because he was an easily recognized former top twink porn star - promised me his bags would be flagged for complete search.  They were - and not just on foreign travel.  Every trip we took, TSA pulled everything out of his bags for everyone to see.   That was 2024.  Normally they’ll say what they’re looking for…but not in his case.  They were just looking

I had my doubts, too, but when I questioned my friend, he was adamant it was true. My friend is a good-hearted, successful businessman, and not the kind of person to make up things. Not wanting to be too pushy, or too pessimistic I dropped it. In a situation like this, without having a chance to question the escort, it's difficult to know the whole truth.

He was coming to the US to engage in sex work, which is ILLEGAL. He didn't fess up to the authorities until they confronted him with the evidence they found on his phone.

And on all of his previous visits do you think Myles told them the REAL reason he was coming to the US?
