That business, police say, truly was a family affair: according to the Associated Press, court documents allege the boys' mother was getting 25 percent of the prostitition ring's profits, which could have been considerable.
The girls were ordered to advertise themselves on a prostitution website for $400 dates under threat of physical assault, investigators believe.
The 17-year-old brother was in the Spokane County Juvenile Detention Center on an unrelated charge and instructing the 15-year-old on how to keep the business going when police uncoverd the alleged ring.
Both brothers were held on $175,000 bond.
