The identities of 10 more men who allegedly bought sex through a local brothel ring that operated out of luxury apartments, including in Watertown, were revealed on Friday.
One of the men, Paul Toner, is a Cambridge City Councilor, according to WBUR.
The multi-state prostitution ring used apartment buildings in Watertown, Cambridge, Dedham Virginia and California, including Blvd & Bond apartments located in Arsenal Yards in Watertown.
The 10 defendants revealed on Friday were: Toner, of Cambridge; James C. Cusack, of Concord; Anurag Bajpayee, of Cambridge; Jeffrey Henry, of Exeter, N.H.; Steven Riel of Laconia, N.H.; Howard Redmond, of Tewksbury; Frederick G. Rosenthal, of Marblehead; Timothy Ackerson, of Waltham; Matthew Ellis Fulton, of Belmont; and Nathaniel Welch, of Concord.
Last week, the first dozen suspects were revealed.
None of the men whose names were made public Friday appeared in court, but will be summonsed to court on a later date to face charges of paying for sex, according to the Boston Globe.
Also this week, Han Lee, one of the three charged with operating the prostitution ring, received a four-year sentence. Lee was charged with one count of conspiracy to persuade, entice, and coerce one or more individuals to travel in interstate or foreign commerce to engage in prostitution; and one count of money laundering, according to the report on NBC10 Boston.
So, these men are being summoned to court “to face charges of paying for sex”.
Isn’t that what the felon president also did with “Stormy Daniels” and many other woman?
Somehow he was never charged for that? How does that work? If an associate sets up the exchange then you won’t be charged with a crime?
Why is sex as a service a crime?
On a purely rational basis, I am confused as too why this is so important.
No reason to be confused. Read the law.
In Massachusetts, prostitution is defined in Chapter 272, Section 53A of the General Laws as engaging, agreeing to engage, or offering to engage in sexual conduct for a fee. The law criminalizes the act itself, solicitation, and arrangements for such acts.
And no, Mr. President Donald Trump, unlike Eliot Spitzer or Barney Frank, did not pay for sex. That’s why he wasn’t charged for it. Have proof to the contrary? Bring it forth.
