BOISE - The Ada County prosecutors say that two high-profile cases involving allegations of adults having sex with teenagers are linked.

Greg Bower confirms one of the victims who police say had sex with a prominent Boise business owner was also involved in a case of sexual abuse involving two 15-year-old girls.

Bower would not offer further details on how the cases are linked.

Three people, Doug Winberry, 50 of Meridian, Colby Watson, 36 of Boise and Lindsey McKeehan, 23 of Boise, were taken into custody last month on charges they engaged in sexual acts with an underage female and offered sexual services on Craiglist.

Later, two Boise men, Richard Phillips and Michael Hodge of Eagle, were arrested in Phillips' Eagle home. Police say they had engaged in a "sex fest" with two teen girls. In each case, the prosecutor says the same girl was involved.
