Toronto Photographer charged! Child porn and...
Just heard it on the news. A photographer (Ya right!) was meeting girls off his OMP account. Took photos of underage girls in the nude, got them drunk and.... now charge with sexual assualt! One of his over age models was interviewed and said " He acted weird during the shoot and kept insisting to be with her in a few shots of her nude!" Models, another excample of being careful and reporting photographers who request you do strange things. May 03 06 05:18 pm Link I just caught the story on the television news (Global). They made a big deal that he met the models on OMP and they gave his name and OMP number, 6107. http://member.onemodelplace.com/member.cfm?P_ID=6107 Looked like they have video of someone from OMP talking to them on the phone. They left an impression that the legitimacy of OMP and sites like it may be doubtful. They featured a 14 year old female model who looks 20, shooting with a Toronto photographer who said the PC things, and he warned about GWCs. Then they had the owner of Sutherland's on, and it was implied models should only work through an agency. As a news story it rates a 10. As for accuracy, maybe a 6. May 03 06 05:46 pm Link And here's a surprise: he'a a Sluggo. "Manages" Internet models. Suspicions confirmed. Again. May 03 06 05:54 pm Link What a F@#$%n surprise. Awful photographs of young nude girls in hotel rooms and managing 2 underage girls. May 03 06 06:00 pm Link Hmm..interesting. He's actually shot with a few models I know. Just encouraging one to be cautious at all times... May 03 06 06:10 pm Link Eric S. wrote: I second that. May 03 06 06:15 pm Link Christ, when does common sense come into play!!? May 03 06 06:19 pm Link i hate when people like this make the rest of the industry look bad .. i know of many young models and i advice them to have everything in writing and alway alway bring a excort that is an adult not some one of their age cus an adult like a parent or guardian can make a decision that the model is not experienced enough to make... these idiots work their garabage under the banner of a photographer are dispicable and should be jailed .. this is the reason many photographers that shoot fine art images are getting a bad rap cus of this garabage ... 2 things i hate people that degrade and take advantage women and children. May 03 06 06:20 pm Link TXPhotog wrote: You can't really tell if he is a manager or not. OMP allows managers to manage talent, photographers to manage talent or photographers to simply provide a portfolio for the models they shoot. As OMP says, they are not the model's manager they are merely managing their profile for them to showcase their work. It is a problem because many of the shooters who give models profiles do it as sort of a for of TFOMPP (Time for OMP Profile).

EDIT: I expect stories like this about guys who have snapshot crap, but some of his stuff is ok.

May 03 06 11:47 pm Link Envy wrote: funny thing is the images they use are of one of the 24 year old models on his OMP profile, making it look like "look at the naughty pics this man took of this underage girl" May 03 06 11:51 pm Link I just noticed that Aida, the model who made the following statement : âHe wanted to go behind me like he's clothed and I'm nude and then he's like pulling my hair and I found that kind of weird,â? remembers Aida Alves. âLike he never tried anything with me, but just the fact that -- I don't know, I just found it kind of creepy.â? Left him an acknowledgement on his OMP profile. That's comforting. I'm not placing any blame on this model, but it makes you question references. May 03 06 11:53 pm Link Glamour Boulevard wrote: I noticed that too. I guess showing a 16 year olds boobies on the evening news is a little questionable. May 03 06 11:55 pm Link Envy wrote: The thing about acknowledgements on there is they either mean, I want to work with this photographer, or,,,,,you do nice work May 03 06 11:55 pm Link Envy wrote: Yea, but even if the girl in the images WAS under 18, proving them to be illegal obscenity would be the issue, they dont look all that naughty. May 03 06 11:56 pm Link Glamour Boulevard wrote: No she left him a "recommendation" on his portfolio, which leads you to believe this person is credible. She also acknowledged him on her profile as someone she has worked with. It makes you question whether she would have mentioned this had he not been caught and made public the allegations.

May 04 06 12:22 am Link The Global TV news follow up today showed the accused leaving court after being released on bail. A reporter asked him if he would continue to run his agency. No mention of any bail conditions. They showed OMP again, as the place he found models. I would hazard a guess that more than one young model's OMP account has been cancelled today. They repeated the accusations that two underage models were photographed in sexual poses and one claimed she was given alcohol. The accused's lawyer was on camera, and mentioned that in Canada we have a presumption of innocence. May 04 06 05:54 pm Link OMP was also on the news about a month ago, This women in her 40, got a e-mail from New Linecinema I think it was. Saying she would be prefect for this role, so she went to NYC had someone from her hotel go to the casting with her, when she got there it was a insurance place. She later on found out that they get these girls and send them out of the US and use then as sex slaves. She asked the older women why younger girls and why did you call me Im 40, she told her someone wanted you, and had a price for you. She asked the lady why she does this and she said, its a job, I get paid well...

May 04 06 07:55 pm Link Stephen Dawson wrote: Brennan Barrett wrote: Tally up one more conviction here on MM. Bingo! Typical of all these threads. The mere suggestion that someone is involved in child porn instantly brings out the torch-wielding lynch mob mentality. That's why child protection is such a popular theme with legislators, law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges. How can anyone be opposed to protecting children? And no one is going to lose any sleep over the lives destroyed by false accusations. They were probably guilty anyway. May 05 06 01:34 pm Link MODELMAYHEM.COM GETTING PUBLICITY FROM THIS CASE: http://www.pulse24.com/News/Top_Story/2 … 5/page.asp http://www.pulse24.com/News/Top_Story/2 … eo-5-2.asx May 06 06 09:02 am Link i was the girl on the citytv interview about him, a few of u recognized me.. i am so confused with all this bullshit because since the day i met Karim, he has been the nicest man and has never tried anything on me. never talked to me creepy never touched me never even slightly made a pass at me! i dont know why me and my best friend who took pictures with him r the only girls that have nothing but nice things to say about him but everyone else is saying he's done these weird creepy things.. i just dont get it. i cant believe the accusations against him at all, theres just no way in hell i could even picture him doing these things. i dont know maybe he really liked me and my best friend as friends and didnt want to hurt us i just dont get why we'd be the only ones hes never tried anything funky with. May 06 06 02:46 pm Link Envy wrote: Ya gotta wonder how many of the under 18 models on here are FBI plants (especially now that the whole world thinks that MM is a haven for child pornographers, pedophiles, and all around general purpose perverts). May 06 06 09:40 pm Link I tried to view the profile but its obviouslly been pulled. The title of Photographer is tossed around way too easily when someone has a camera in their hands. Oh....I just hope the government doesnt develop a license to test people for  They done that to everything else thus far. Models are not stupid, at least none of those I have met and worked with or those I wish to work with in the future. Those who read or watch the news story of this will learn to be more careful with whom they meet and shoot with. Always ask for references  Just my opinion -R May 06 06 09:52 pm Link MandyTequila wrote: Please don't take this as critical but..... why would you pose topless for photos if you diddn't want anyone, even the photographer, to have them? It must be wierd dealing with the drama I'm sure you've been dealt. I'm glad to hear you weren't assaulted.
