Brenda L. Stewart was indicted Tuesday on 70 criminal counts that include tax evasion, racketeering, witness tampering and money laundering related to her business, Denver Sugar/Denver Players.
In 2008, Denver Sugar/Denver Players, an escort service, was raided by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
Women affiliated with the business told 9News that their client list included several prominent Denver business people, athletes and local celebrities, but they declined to reveal names. The club was headquartered near East 17th Avenue and Fillmore Street.
The federal indictment alleges Stewart tampered with witnesses because she asked the person who ran her business websites to delete them while she was under investigation.
The 35-year-old is due in U.S. District Court in Denver on Nov. 30 for an initial hearing.
