OTTAWA — Former call girl and dominatrix Darquise Johnson says she came back to Canada empty-handed after her abusive husband, Nolan, blew $800,000 of Doug Macklem’s money on cars, travel and gambling.
Testifying in her own defence, Johnson — she also uses her maiden name, L’Ecuyer — painted herself as the victim of a violent, controlling and spendthrift husband.

She claimed Nolan Johnson, a Jamaican-born drug dealer, was the puppet master behind the elaborate fraud. Johnson said she never agreed to take part in the scheme.
“The way I look at it, I was Nolan’s puppet,” Johnson, 31, told court in testimony regularly interrupted by tears. “I did as I was told. I did as I was told and I couldn’t do anything about it or I would get hit or pushed down the stairs.”

When she resisted, Johnson testified, she was threatened with being “disappeared” or she was beaten, kicked or choked.
Johnson said she returned to Canada from Jamaica with only a bag of clothes and was arrested as she stepped off the plane at Pearson International Airport near Toronto in June 2007.
She called her life in Jamaica “a living hell.”

Nolan, she said, had blown all of Macklem’s money and the couple was living with pirated water and electricity in a remote Jamaican town. Nolan only allowed her to come back to Canada, she said, because she promised to return to stripping and send money to Jamaica. In his cross-examination, Crown attorney Jason Neubauer accused Johnson of fabricating the story.
“It’s the next lie in a series of lies,” he suggested. Johnson denied it.

OTTAWA — A call girl who exploited a disabled man’s desire for love to defraud him of more than $800,000 has failed in her attempt to convince a jury that she, too, was a victim in the case.The jury found Darquise Johnson, 31, guilty on all five fraud-related charges that she faced.
In doing so, the jury rejected Johnson’s claim that she deceived computer systems analyst Doug Macklem under orders from her violent and controlling husband.
Crown attorney Jason Neubauer has indicated he will seek a “lengthy prison term” in the case. He also asked the judge to revoke Johnson’s bail, calling her a flight risk.
Johnson — she also goes by the name L’Ecuyer — did not show any emotion as the verdict was delivered.
Her conviction comes more than four years after Macklem received a Christmas Day e-mail, telling him that she had died in a car crash in the Dominican Republic.
Macklem had, by then, invested heavily in what he believed were two seaside villas and a related business. He believed the tourist ventures would form a central part of his life together with Johnson, whom he had first hired as a paid escort in August 2004.
Macklem was in court to hear the jury foreman announce the verdict. He called it vindication.
“I have done this whole thing for justice,” he said outside court.
Macklem did not offer an opinion about what kind of prison sentence he would like Johnson to serve, saying he had faith in the justice system to do the right thing.
Court heard that Macklem fell in love with Johnson more than one year into their escort-client relationship. He didn’t express his feelings, however, out of fear that she would leave him.
Their relationship, he testified, began to change in late 2005 after she called to say she couldn’t afford Christmas gifts for her family. He went shopping with Johnson and paid for $600 in gifts. They went out for dinner afterwards and held hands.
Macklem told court that Johnson later asked to be a “higher priority” in his life and announced she would leave the escort business with his support.
Macklem agreed, believing they had launched a conventional relationship.
Unbeknownst to him, however, Johnson was already married to a Jamaican-born drug dealer named Nolan.
It was Darquise Johnson’s contention that Nolan orchestrated the massive fraud that subsequently bilked Macklem of more than $800,000 during 2006.
At her urging, Macklem invested in two seaside villas. She took more money from him for hurricane repairs, fences, furniture, exercise equipment, wheelchair access, mortgage payments, beach taxes, salaries, even guard dogs.
Macklem borrowed money, mortgaged his family home, and cashed in investments and RRSPs, in order to finance the fictitious enterprises.
At one point, Johnson told Macklem that she would abort his unborn child unless he came up with $114,000 for a car rental and SeaDoo business.
Macklem ultimately agreed to turn over the money. Johnson later told Macklem she had suffered a miscarriage, even though she had never been pregnant in the first place. She told the jury that the charade was conducted under death threats from her husband, Nolan.

Johnson said she had been beaten, kicked, choked and thrown down the stairs by him, but no medical records were entered into evidence to support the claim.
Macklem has already won a civil court judgment against Johnson for $821,000, a fact that could not be reported during her criminal trial.
She was twice cited for contempt of court during that proceeding.
