Men charged with running prostitution ring
By Freeman Klopott

A Maryland man and a man from Miami have been charged for their alleged roles in running a nationwide prostitution ring that took advantage of immigrant women and sent them to Tysons Corner for their first meetings with customers, a federal indictment unsealed Wednesday said.

The manager of the ring, with trysts set up through the Web site MiamiUltimate.com, would enlist immigrant women into his escort service, only to tell them moments before their first meeting that they were expected to be prostitutes, the indictment filed in a Michigan federal court said. After their first trysts in Tysons Corner, the women were flown around the country on Miami Ultimate’s tab, often landing in Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis and Cleveland.

One of the ring’s clients would drive from his home in Boyds to Tysons Corner for trysts set up through Miami Ultimate, the indictment said. Between June 2007 and October 2008, the client became increasingly involved with Miami Ultimate, going from customer, to reviewing trysts on the Web site, to planning a joint prostitution ring in the Washington area with the manager of the site.

The Miami Ultimate Web site isn’t explicit about sexual activity between the “escorts” and “clients.” A disclaimer on the Web site says payment is for modeling and companionship. Anything else that could happen “between two or more consenting adults of legal age is not contracted for.”
