The elite clients of a high-end brothel network operating across Massachusetts and Washington DC could soon be unmasked.
A federal task force is seeking state criminal charges against 28 people accused of paying for sex from the brothel ring. They will all be summoned to Cambridge District Court for hearings.
The 28 are believed to be made up of elected officials, government contractors with security clearances, and military officers.
Acting U.S. Attorney Joshua S. Levy said in a statement on Monday: 'Our office made it clear when we announced charges of a commercial sex ring case on Nov. 8, 2023, that the investigation was ongoing and that there would be accountability for the buyers who fuel the commercial sex industry.
'Today, a Homeland Security Investigations Task Force Officer with the Cambridge Police Department submitted applications for complaints against 28 sex buyers with the Cambridge District Court.
>'Until probable cause has been found, no names will be released.
'If probable cause is established and criminal charges are issued by the Court, referrals will then be made to the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office.
'In addition, we are working closely with Virginia authorities to begin the referral process of sex buyers from the Virginia locations in this case.
'The referral processes will remain ongoing.'
