Calgary man charged with kidnapping, crimes against sex workers

A Calgary man named Richard Robert Mantha, 59, is facing a long list of charges related to the sexual assault, drugging, and kidnapping of multiple sex workers.

Heather Yourex-West explains how the charges result from an investigation at a rural Chestermere, Alberta property, the eerie parallels to the case of serial killer Robert “Willy” Pickton, and the continued calls for laws to better protect the rights of sex workers.
