An employee of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is accused of running a prostitution ring from her work computer in the agency’s Kansas City office. Laurie Lynn McConnell, a 26-year-old statistician, allegedly ran the ring in three states with the help of a 36-year-old co-defendant who does not work for the USDA. The pair faces between five and 20 years of jail time if convicted. (Kansas City Star)
