Feds charge 14 reputed Gambino family members

The AP reports:
A reputed boss of the Gambino organized crime family and 13 other people were arrested on Tuesday on an array of charges, including what prosecutors called new criminal territory for the mob: sex trafficking of a minor.

Papers filed in federal court in Manhattan allege that Gambino soldiers and associates recruited prostitutes at strip clubs, including a 15-year-old, and advertised their services on the Internet.
Here's the press release.
