"Arrests Made in Operation of Elite Brothel Network Catering to Elected Officials and Wealthy Clients"

Three individuals have been arrested for operating a sophisticated high-end brothel network in greater Boston and eastern Virginia. The defendants allegedly established multiple brothels in different states, primarily targeting Asian women, and used websites to advertise their services. They rented high-end apartment complexes as brothel locations, coordinated women's travel, and communicated with clients through text messages. The defendants charged premium prices for appointments, ranging from $350 to $600 per hour, and concealed the proceeds through cash deposits and money orders. The investigation has identified a wide range of buyers, including elected officials, high tech executives, doctors, military officers, and government contractors. The defendants have been charged with conspiracy to coerce and entice individuals to engage in illegal sexual activity, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
