Premier Scott Moe announced that he had removed Ryan Domotor from the government caucus and stripped him of all government appointments and responsibilities.
Domotor, the current MLA for Cutknife-Turtleford, has been charged under Section 286.1 of the Criminal Code of Canada, according to a news release from the Government of Saskatchewan.
Section 286.1 is communicating for the purpose of obtaining sexual services, meaning at the time of communication, the accused intended to engage the sexual services of a prostitute.
“Those in public office should be working to support vulnerable women, not exploit them,” Premier Moe said. “There is absolutely no place in our government, nor frankly in the Assembly, for someone who has been charged with such a crime.”
Upon learning of the charge, Moe immediately kicked Domoter from the Sask. Party.
