Federal indictments for nationwide brothel Circuit
Based on an intensive FBI investigation, federal prosecutors have indicted 25 people for their alleged involvement in a nationwide brothel ring called "the Circuit". According to one former New Orleans-based madam who copped a plea, "More than 50 years old, the Circuit may involve over 100 brothels — many of which might still be in business." Sounds to me like the feds have been reading too many Jackie Collins novels. An earlier article about this case quoted several New Orleans attorneys who considered the charges trumped up and "an incredible waste of federal resources."
