Last April a Miami couple had been indicted on approximately 58 counts of operating a prostitution ring, money laundering and tax fraud. The couple had used their escort service as a cover up according to investigators. The couple has now accepted a plea of guilty from federal prosecutors.
The couple maintained an adult internet website entitled "Sweeties.us." Ads were also placed in local newspapers looking for "models" and "phone operators." Both individuals were responsible for interviewing and hiring prospective escorts and telephone operators.
In court documents it has been stated that customers would call relative to scheduling appointments with an escort in a wide range of service prices and service areas, including local and non local hotels.
Cash profits went unreported to the IRS to include overstating business travel deductions. Included in the plea deal an agreement was made to pay the federal government more than a million dollars.
The couple faces a maximum of five years in prison for conspiracy and a maximum of three years for filing a false tax return.
