Former Portsmouth city councilman Michael Mearan – who faces 18 charges related to sex trafficking – took on new clients at his law practice in violation of a condition of his bond, prosecutors say.
The state is arguing Mearan should go back to jail, documents say.
In a Wednesday court filing, state prosecutors Jennifer Rausch and Joel King requested Judge Patricia Cosgrove revoke Mearan s bond for failure to comply with the conditions set during his October arraignment, when he was charged with nine counts of promoting prostitution, five counts of compelling prostitution, three counts of human trafficking and one count of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity.
