no charges filed relating to the underage victim from 2017? Insufficient evidence?
This entire industry is an underbelly if you go strictly by LE.
There are truly dangerous elements that involve coercion, narcotics, trafficking, etc which seem to be the target of efforts like this investigation.
Then there is everybody else. A zealous prosecutor could nail anyone to the wall or, even without a conviction, drag someone thru the mud and ruin them.

not anyone on the supply side (indy or agency) is probably paying taxes. There are years of financial crimes, tax evasion, money laundering that could catch up. Ever facilitated a duo? That seems like it could be construed as procurement. But it's allot of work to pursue things like that for very little gain.
Great article, but it seems incomplete. To me, it seems like the other shoe is yet to drop.
