Han Lee, the accused operator of a high-end brothel network, emphasized during her court proceedings that she did not control the women involved but acknowledged persuading them to engage in prostitution.
Prosecutors revealed that the commercial sex ring served a clientele of politicians, military officers, and business executives, but have yet to charge any buyers with crimes.
By pleading guilty, Han Lee faces up to 25 years in prison, and her decision also opens the possibility of deportation, indicating the serious implications of her plea.
In a legal maneuver aimed at anonymity, some clients have approached the highest court in Massachusetts to prevent their identities from being disclosed, reflecting the broader social implications of the case.
