"The leader of a Miami prostitution network pleaded guilty Wednesday to importing women from Europe to work as call girls in South Florida, U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis announced.

Ronald R. Eppinger, 65, pleaded guilty to charges involving the smuggling of immigrants into the country for the purpose of prostitution, and money laundering.

Federal prosecutors said that between 1997 and 1999 Eppinger and two Czech women recruited women from Eastern Europe to work as models, then put them to work as prostitutes.

The two Czech women, Lucie Faubert and Tereza Benesova, already have pleaded guilty to immigrant smuggling."
