Three men have been arrested for their alleged connection in operating sophisticated high-end brothels in greater Boston and eastern Virginia.
The network’s client list included elected officials, high-tech and pharmaceutical executives, doctors, military officers, government contractors who possess security clearances, professors, attorneys, scientists, and accountants, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts said.
The Justice Department announced three defendants, identified as Han Lee, a/k/a “Hana,” 41, of Cambridge, Mass; James Lee, 68, of Torrance, Calif.; and Junmyung Lee, 30, of Dedham, Mass., have been charged with conspiracy to coerce and entice to travel to engage in illegal sexual activity.
Prosecutors said the three made hundreds of thousands of dollars through the “commercial sex ring” that could raise national security concerns about the potential for blackmail.
Acting Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Josh Levy said the sex ring was built on secrecy and exclusivity, catering to a wealthy and well-connected clientele, and business was booming until the authorities stopped it.
According to court documents, from at least July 2020, the defendants operated an interstate prostitution network with multiple brothels in Cambridge and Watertown, Mass., as well as in Fairfax and Tysons, Va.
