At first I thought it was kind of overblown but these people pleaded guilty to things like:

* Sexual exploitation of a child and possession of child pornography

* Conspiracy to conceal and harbor illegal aliens for financial gain and fraudulent use of identification.

* Sex trafficking

* Attempted sex trafficking

* Trafficking for labor and services

* Conspiracy to alter records for use in an official proceeding

* Sex trafficking conspiracy, forced labor conspiracy, racketeering conspiracy, and wire fraud conspiracy

Yeah one can argue that US prosecution is overzealous and forces people to plead to stuff they are not guilty of. But I don't think it applies here as much. These are famous actresses and other wealthy people. They definitely have enough money for top lawyers.
