How are they going to make a case?

without hearsay? The only path I see in the story is through extensive and maybe expert testimony about the phone text records.
Many possible defenses.
Object of the prosecution is to put the names out there aka wanton cruelty.
Really?

The pimps had pretty extensive documentation as they required the johns to be pre-approved. That plus the cell phone records make it hard for them to prove they've got the wrong guys. (Of course, if they are wealthy enough they can buy freedom like Kraft did.)
My guess is they agree to plead guilty in exchange for no jail.
"documentation" without authentication is hearsay

and inadmissible at trial. Are the pimps going to testify in exchange for a deal? Seems that would be misplaced prosecutorial priorities.
The phone texts could possibly be authenticated but might need testimony from Verizon etc plus police.
Kraft was a victim of an egregious scheme in which police installed cameras in a massage parlor without a warrant.
News to you, no old guy like Kraft getting a happy ending in a massage parlor is going to jail rich or poor, so no he did not buy his freedom. None of these guys are going to jail, on a plea most it will be is "continued without a finding" pending dismissal.
Any thoughts on the wanton cruelty …
