A Florida woman has pleaded guilty to charges relating to operating a multimillion-dollar online prostitution ring that offered up pornography stars and fashion models.

Michelle Braun pleaded guilty Friday to money laundering and transporting an individual from Orange County to New York City for the purposes of prostitution. She changed her plea at a hearing before U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney.

Braun, who lives in Boca Raton, Fla., is accused of running the company, Global Travel Network Inc., as a front for prostitution, according to court records.

Braun’s prostitutes were advertised to be adult film stars, top professional fashion models, centerfolds and actresses, prosecutors said. Clients would pay more than $50,000 for a night of services, they said.

Seventy-one women worked for Braun, prosecutors said. They mostly lived in Los Angeles, though two resided here in Orange County.
