Rochester, MN (KROC AM News)  - A Rochester man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for his conviction on prostitution-related charges.

40-year-old Charles Webster earlier entered Alford pleas to 3 counts of receiving profits from prostitution through a plea agreement that resulted in the dismissal of six other felony charges. An Alford plea means he does not admit guilt, but acknowledges there is enough evidence for a conviction.

Webster was accused of operating a prostitution ring in the Rochester area in 2012 and 2013.
