SHEEPSHEAD BAY, NY - www.wpix.com -Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes announced a 144-count indictment against 17 members of a high class, big bucks prostitution ring out of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.

Five corporations and two of the largest investors, Efim Gorelik and Yakov Maystrovich, who each invested $700,000 to the company, were also named in the indictment of High Class NY.

The prostitution ring was a family affair. Mikhail Yampolsky [top left]; his wife, Bronislava; his son, Alexander; and his stepson, Jonathan Yampolskaya; face up to 25 years in jail if convicted of charges of Enterprise Corruption, Promoting Prostitution, Money Laundering, and Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance. They allegedly lived a lavish lifestyle with High End NY making more than $7 million over three years, from 2007-2010. In a separate indictment, two of the escorts were charged with Prostitution, Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance and Attempted Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance.

"High class NY went to considerable lengths to conceal it's crime including creating a series of dummy corporations with misleading names," DA Hynes said.

Escort services ranged from $400 -$3600 an hour and clients often spent $10,000 in one night according to the indictment. High Class NY was on call 24/7 out of an office at 2313 Coney Island Avenue. The clients would call various numbers which would lead them to people at the 2nd floor office in Brooklyn. Clients would then be meet up with their escorts at high end, expensive hotels across the city, according to prosecutors. The company used billing techniques, like fake business names, to hide and conceal the nature of the client's purposes on credit card statements according to the indictment.

"The customers were all high end customers coming from the financial markets many of them, hedge fund people, people with nothing but money," DA Hynes said in a press conference Wedneday afternoon.

High Class NY went to great lengths to conceal their true operation according to DA Hynes, which included hiring an attorney to draw up employment contracts with the women hired, calling them "models" and prohibiting them from sexual contact with clients. However, sexual acts were involved as well as the sale of cocaine and other drugs, according to the indictment. The women were from various countries and ethnicities and are believed to be in the U.S.legally. They are described as 20-30 years old; 30 was considered old. No other escorts other than the two in the indictment will be charged. Prosecutors are not ruling out charging the "johns" or those who hired the escorts.

The company is charged with operating several escort websites, including highclassny.com, discreteclub.com, nyadultdating.com, cupiddirect.com, and angelofyourchoice.com. The group advertised in print publications and on the internet including craigslist.org. Some $2 million dollars of High End NY has been frozen by authorities in light of the indictment.

from www.nydailynews.com - A sophisticated, high-end prostitution ring offering $10,000-a-night tricks has been tripped up by Brooklyn authorities.

Prosecutors charged High Class NY on Wednesday with raking in $7 million over three years by peddling pretties referred to as "models" through several web sites and various advertisements.

"\[Johns\] were all high-end customers," said Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes. "People with nothing but money who are willing to pay these enormous amounts for god knows what."

If clients asked, hookers would provide them with cocaine and other drugs, the indictment said. Rendezvous rates ranged from $600 to $3,400 an hour, according to several web sites with names like nyadultdating.com and cupiddirect.com.

But all calls ended up at a second-floor office on Coney Island Ave. in Sheepshead Bay, prosecutors said.

Cops arrested 17 people, including owner Mikhail Yampolsky, his wife Bronislava and their two sons. They were charged with enterprise corruption and other counts that can land them in prison for up to 25 years.

The defendants were expected to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon.

No ties to the Russian mob are suspected, said Det. Joe Panico, who spearheaded the two-year probe.

"They were on the high end of sophistication," he said of the suspects, pointing to their qualified IT personnel and use of dummy corporations to hide profits and launder money.

Investigators used surveillance and undercover work to bust the flesh-peddling ring - ordering some dates through code words that became "more explicit" when the hookers showed up, said Panico.

Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes announced the indictment of 17 persons in a high end prostitution ring.

High Class NY offered an array of escorts from different nationalities who had to undergo an interview, sign a contract and post their photos online before meeting clients at expensive hotels, the investigation found. None was believed to be coerced.

Hynes said the operation hid behind "a veneer of legitimacy," claiming in their sites that payments are for companionship only. But he vowed to prosecute the ringleaders and seek maximum penalties.

"There is no such thing as a high-class pimp," he said.
