Black Orchid Escort Service

The Black Orchid Escort Service was the name of a supposed brothel operating out of the Married Student Apartments at UW in 1993.

Flyers
In the middle of May 1993, flyers were distributed to various apartment buildings in Waterloo, as well as around main campus, advertising various sexual services for a price.

The flyers offer “oral” activity for $95, “intercourse” for $125, and “combined” for $145.

Imprint story
Imprint's interest was piqued by the flyers and they decided to do some investigative journalism in order to get to the bottom of the matter. Pretending to be both potential customers and potential employees, Imprint was able to successfully garner a large number of details about the operation, including method of payment, number of employees, and a claim that most of their clients had been Math and Engineering students (but also some faculty).

Police investigation
Not much is known about the police investigation of the issue. The Imprint article noted that solicitation was illegal in Canada and tried to gather information about the size and duration of the investigation. It is not known whether any charges were pressed in the incident, but an illegal tenant, almost certainly Greg D. Nikolic, was evicted from the Married Student Apartments shortly thereafter.
