Update: Investigators Suspect Prostitution Ring May Have Been Part of Chinese Espionage Plot Targeting Military Officers, Elected Officials: Report
Investigators suspect the prostitution ring may have been a part of an espionage plot targeting military officers and elected officials.
The Justice Department on Wednesday announced arrests in a high-end brothel network used by elected officials, military officers, doctors and more.
According to the Justice Department, the ringleaders operated two websites to advertise Asian ‘models’ for photography as a front.
“Three individuals have been arrested in connection with operating sophisticated high-end brothels in greater Boston and eastern Virginia. Commercial sex buyers allegedly included elected officials, high tech and pharmaceutical executives, doctors, military officers, government contractors that possess security clearances, professors, attorneys, scientists and accountants, among others,” the US Attorney’s Office of the District of Massachusetts said.
