A man and woman accused of operating a commercial sex ring for wealthy and prominent clients in Massachusetts and the Washington area appear in court.
M Junmyung Lee, of Dedham, Mass., and Han Lee, of Cambridge, Mass., waived their right to a preliminary hearing in a scheme in which federal prosecutors say they rented high-end apartments to use as brothels in Watertown and Cambridge, Mass., and Tysons and Fairfax, Va.
Three individuals who enticed women to participate in a prostitution network have been arrested for operating "high-end brothels" in Massachusetts and Virginia with a clientele that included elected officials, high-tech and pharmaceutical executives, doctors, military officers and government contractors who possess security clearances.
Several residents of the apartment buildings in Cambridge and Watertown where the brothels allegedly operated said they had no idea their neighbors had set up booming commercial sex businesses.
Brothels were set up near defense contractors and research labs.
