He was never charged, and his side is that he was there for a legitimate reason. The fact that the police thought that there was more going on there doesn't reflect on him IMO.
Frankly this almost makes me want to vote NDP. I don't think that this has any place in politics, and I would be very interested in knowing which party leaked this and why.

Nor does visiting hookers, this isn't Italy!
Maybe that's how he met Olivia??
On a serious note, if this went down in 1996, Jack was a politician for the city of Toronto then. I don't see how this doesn't question his character. It's not like it can be dismissed as 'Young and stupid.' If it were reversed and Harper was involved, this would be national news and you would be ranting and raving about the Conservative's poor ethics. And trust me, if any of the parties had evidence of even a reasonable doubt that Harper saw hookers at any point in his life, it would be leaked by Jack, Ignatieff, or Duceppe.
