Twelve suspected clients in a high-profile brothel case appeared in a Cambridge, Massachusetts courtroom to have their identities revealed. The men are accused of using high-end brothels in luxury apartments in different locations. The public hearings are to determine probable cause for charges against them. A Cambridge police lieutenant presented reports of how the men allegedly arranged appointments with sex workers. In all cases, there was enough evidence to proceed with charges of sexual conduct for a fee. The men, including politicians and corporate executives, will potentially face misdemeanor charges. The three accused of operating the brothels have been charged in federal court. Han Lee, the woman accused of running the brothel, pleaded guilty. The operation used websites advertising nude models for photography as a front. The case was an exception due to the hearings being held in a courtroom for transparency, accountability, and public confidence. There are more hearings scheduled, with about 10 men expected at each session. The three accused operators were indicted in 2024. One has pleaded guilty, while the other two are facing charges of conspiracy and money laundering. The operators utilized high-end apartments in different locations to run the brothels. As the case progresses, more information and charges are expected to come to light.
