Feds peruse client list of powerful ‘johns’ after bust of high-end prostitution ring
Justice experts expect big names to drop in cases that also win fame for prosecutors
The Justice Department does not typically become involved in breaking up local prostitution rings, but the sex network raid that federal prosecutors announced Wednesday was no ordinary operation.
The sex workers catered to the well-to-do, powerful and influential professionals of Washington and Boston who now face public exposure and criminal sentences.
Prosecutors announced the arrests of three people who operated the prostitution ring out of luxury apartments just outside Boston and in McLean, Virginia, a suburb of Washington and one of the most expensive cities in the U.S.
In a public statement, Justice Department officials named only the three men arrested on charges of running the operation.
The clients’ identities will unlikely be shielded for long.
The Justice Department’s involvement in the case, those familiar with the process say, centers on the list of powerful “johns,” or clients.
Does anyone really believe that Biden’s DOJ will name people that support the demise of America?
