Michigan sex-ring plea deal reached

DETROIT, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- The alleged mastermind behind one of the largest U.S. prostitution rings has reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors in Detroit, authorities said.

Greg Carr, the accused operator of the Miami Companions escort service, will plead guilty to as yet unspecified charges, ending the criminal case against him, The Detroit News reported Wednesday.

Carr, 44, of Dearborn Heights, Mich., is facing 11 counts of conspiracy to coerce and entice prostitution, coercion and enticement of prostitution, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The fate of the Miami Companions' so-called "black book" and whether the names of more than 30,000 clients, job details and sexual preferences would ever be made public was unclear as of late Tuesday, the newspaper said.

The names of clients from across southeastern Michigan are included in the book, prosecutors say.

Carr's ex-wife Laurie Carr, a co-owner of the escort service, pleaded guilty Oct. 22 to conspiracy to coerce and entice prostitution and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
