JetFanByMarriage Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 NY governor linked to prostitution ring 6 minutes ago NEW YORK - Gov. Eliot Spitzer has told senior advisers that he had been involved in a prostitution ring, The New York Times reported Monday, citing an anonymous top administration official. ADVERTISEMENT Spitzer, who is married with three daughters, was scheduled to make an announcement Monday afternoon. Spitzer officials wouldn't immediately comment on the story. The Times reported that a person with knowledge of the governor's role believes the governor is identified as a client in court papers. Four people allegedly connected to a high-end prostitution ring called Emperors Club VIP were arrested last week. The Web site of the Emperors Club VIP displays photographs of scantily clad women with their faces hidden, along with hourly rates depending on whether the prostitutes were rated with one diamond, the lowest ranking, or seven diamonds, the highest. The most highly ranked prostitutes cost $5,500 an hour, prosecutors said. Spitzer, 48, built his political legacy on rooting out corruption, including several headline-making battles with Wall Street while serving as attorney general. He stormed into the governor's office in 2006 with a historic share of the vote, vowing to continue his no-nonsense approach to fixing one of the nation's worst governments. Time magazine had named him "Crusader of the Year" when he was attorney general and the tabloids proclaimed him "Eliot Ness." But his stint as governor has been marred by several problems, including an unpopular plan to grant driver's licenses to illegal immigrants and a plot by his aides to smear Spitzer's main Republican nemesis. Spitzer had been expected to testify to the state Public Integrity Commission he had created to answer for his role in the scandal, in which his aides were accused of misusing state police to compile travel records to embarrass Senate Republican leader Joseph Bruno. Spitzer had served two terms as attorney general where he pursued criminal and civil cases and cracked down on misconduct and conflicts of interests on Wall Street and in corporate America. He had previously been a prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, handling organized crime and white-collar crime cases. His cases as state attorney general included a few criminal prosecutions of prostitution rings and into tourism involving prostitutes. In 2004, he was part of an investigation of an escort service in New York City that resulted in the arrest of 18 people on charges of promoting prostitution and related charges. ___ Associated Press Writer Mike Gormley contributed to this report from Albany, N.Y.

Garb Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 His wife must be a real happy camper. I think it's times like these where it's okay to kick a man in his gonads. Public humiliation just doesn't seem like enough. I have a question though. So these hookers were rated. 1 diamond. 2 diamond, etc. How does that work? Cup size? Referrals? Reviews? Tenure? Age?

MasonJet Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Spitzer's prostitution scandal seems like a pretty run of the mill scandal. He can't possibly live up to the standards of Senator David Diaper Vitter of Louisiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
