Men accused of buying sex at Boston-area brothels named in initial hearings
Briefly

In a recent court session, nearly all of the 12 accused individuals skipped their preliminary hearings related to a high-end brothel network in Greater Boston. The court's decision to make these hearings public has been contested, with a defense attorney arguing against it, citing a recent ruling by the state's Supreme Judicial Court. Authorities plan to charge a total of 28 men, whose identities have been speculated upon since federal arrests occurred in late 2023, allegedly involving clients such as politicians and lawyers.
With great respect to the decision of the Supreme Judicial Court, my client continues his objection to this hearing being public, and I would ask the clerk to reconsider.
The wealthy and well-connected clientele included politicians, military officers, doctors, lawyers, and business executives.
The men's identities have been a source of fervent speculation since November 2023, when federal prosecutors announced the arrests of three people accused of operating a high-end brothel network.
Authorities are seeking charges against a total of 28 individuals, with initial hearings staggered across three dates in March.
