I just went through the archives, and dug up this press release from 2004 in which then-NY Attorney General Eliot Spitzer announced the indictment of 18 people associated with a prostitution ring. The key quote which is getting a lot of attention today, is:
“This was a sophisticated and lucrative operation with a multi-tiered management structure,” Spitzer said. “It was, however, nothing more than a prostitution ring, and now its owners and operators will be held accountable.”
