Massachusetts grand jury indicts alleged operators of high-end brothel ring in Greater Boston, Virginia

Three people at the center of a commercial sex ring that catered to “a wealthy, well-connected clientele” near Boston, Massachusetts and Eastern Virginia are seeking plea deals, federal authorities revealed.

The trio also maintained a “menu” from which buyers could choose the sexual companions they were interested in.

According to court documents, each website described a verification process that interested sex buyers undertook to be eligible to schedule an appointment, including requiring customers to fill out a form providing their full name, email address and email, their telephone number, their employer and their reference if they had one.

This thorough process would have helped convince high-end clients, ensuring they were not law enforcement or men posing a risk to the safety and security of sex workers.

The three accused were arraigned in person on February 6.

Since then, the attorney has “produced findings on March 5 and May 30, 2024” from electronic devices.

“The parties have engaged in plea discussions,” U.S. Magistrate Judge David Hennessy wrote in a report filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Boston.
