Spitzer Is Linked to Prostitution Ring
ALBANY - Gov. Eliot Spitzer has informed his most senior administration officials that he had been involved in a prostitution ring, an administration official said this morning.
Mr. Spitzer, who was huddled with his top aides inside his Fifth Avenue apartment early this afternoon, had hours earlier abruptly canceled his scheduled public events for the day. He scheduled an announcement for 2:15 after inquiries from the Times.
Mr. Spitzer, a first term Democrat who pledged to bring ethics reform an end the often seamy ways of Albany, is married with three children.
Just last week, federal prosecutors arrested four people in connection with an expensive prostitution operation. Administration officials would not say that this was the ring with which the governor had become involved.
But a person with knowledge of the governor’s role said that the person believes the governor is one of the men identified as clients in court papers.
The governor’s travel records show that he was in Washington in mid-February. One of the clients described in court papers arranged to meet with a prostitute who was part of the ring, the Emperors Club VIP on the night of Feb. 13.
Mr. Spitzer appeared on a CNBC television show at 7 a.m. the next morning. Later in the morning, he testified before a Congressional committee.
An affidavit filed in federal court in Manhattan in connection with that case lists six conversations between the man, identified as Client 9, and a booking agent for the Emperors Club.
He had a difficult first year in office, rocked by a mix of scandal and legislative setbacks. In recent weeks, however, Mr. Spitzer seemed to have rebounded, with his Democratic party poised to perhaps gain control of the state Senate for the first time in four decades.
Mr. Spitzer gained national attention when he served as attorney general with his relentless pursuit of Wall Street wrongdoing. As attorney general, he also had prosecuted at least two prostitution rings as head of the state’s organized crime task force.
In one such case in 2004, Mr. Spitzer spoke with revulsion and anger after announcing the arrest of 16 people for operating a high-end prostitution ring out of Staten Island.
“”This was a sophisticated and lucrative operation with a multitiered management structure,” Mr. Spitzer said at the time. ”It was, however, nothing more than a prostitution ring.”
Albany for months has been roiled by bitter fighting and accusations of dirty tricks. The Albany County district attorney is set to issue in the coming days the results of his investigation into Mr. Spitzer’s first scandal, his aides’ involvement in an effort to tarnish Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno, the state’s top Republican.

Not surprised. For fuck sake, JFK had more than a few mistresses.
-
There are things about NY that I miss...
-
Maybe his ring included illegals with drivers licenses?
-
Press conference said little other than apologizing to the public and his family.
Sound's like he's cooked. ;)
-
so what... he is a guy... we have needs.

Why is high-priced, escort-like prostitution illegal? It's not like you have disease-ridden, drug-addict skanks walking the streets with their pimps and decreasing quality of life. It's like ordering a pizza (or herpes) from Dominoes. No big deal. If you have disposable cash, you have disposable hookers (and a disposable marriage!)

To be honest, I didn't realize he was our governor until I read the article. I thought we still had that excellent Pataki fella in charge.
Oh well...

This goes out to JoeLoco: :D

You can see the dissapointment in his wife's eyes.
At least he didnt lie.
Everyone deserves a second chance.
He and his wife were teary eyed but did not cry.

LOL, beat me to it, good ziner post on the NY Gov.
Why in the hell don't they just legalize prostitution everywhere in the US like Vegas along with personal drug use? Look, I don't go to ho's or even drink booze, but I am all for personal freedoms for all adults.

hah you have standards ...double standards. the fact is it's against the law to hire a hooker in dc and who knows what he's charged with in the federal indictment. i'm not certain prostitution is legal in vegas but rather in certain parts of nevada. according to the hooker he wanted to anal her without a condom

You live in swamp land. Why the fuck do you care?

Many stupid laws in this ("free") country.
Why is prostitution illegal? Does it kill or harm anybody?
I think we should learn from the Dutch, the Germans, and the Spaniards.

All Drugs...
what? someone had to say it! ;)

A lot of your countrymen will rant on about everything being so great in the USA, you know?

Unfortunately unintelligent people can't distinguish the street level, pimp led prostitution rings (which are the result of prohibition I should add), to the high end, classy, and safe prostitution rings like this one (which are also the result of prohibition).
-
the issue with him is that he has been very judgemental and gloating in his past about various other politicians.. all the while he is leading a less than "pure" life.. he wont recover..

Until it is made legal our opinions don't mean much. Bottom line, an elected official who built his rep on being tough on crime was caught committing an illegal act. The end. He MUST resign or they will prosecute him for bringing a hooker across state lines. By the by, the difference between a hunts point hooker and an "upscale call girl" is better make up, better clothing and a bit more being attractive. THAT IS ALL! A bit too much "Upscale call girl" dick sucking in some of these replies. A ho is a ho. The only thing that's puzzling about prostitution is trying to figure out why it's necessary. With some many super horny women out there itching to get laid, why would you have to pay for it? ???

hard to draw the line.
are you saying that rich people should be able to bang hotties in hotel rooms for $4000 per hour...
but poor people shouldn't be able to bang a girl with a busted grille in a motel 6 for $150 a night?
-

Who actually pays $150-$4000 for a hooker? I'm going to go take my anger out on any hooker I see walking the street.

Client #9, supposedly the governor, spent $4300 for an hour with this girl.
I don't know what low-end hookers go for. $150 was a best guess?

Try getting married without a prenup.

He wasn't involved in any prostitution 'ring'. The people involved in the 'ring' are the ones who were profiting from it (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Like most, he was just another trick and there should be no crime against paying for booty.

he'll never be charged.
but it likely just cost him a run at the presidency.

You need to get out more! $25 for a hummer in New York. $40 if she has to remove her false teeth!
For $4300, we're talking clean, young, and anal.

Spitzer's done! Next...

Schadenfreude>Spitzer

They have to charge him now that he's been outed.
-
I have no double standards . . . yesterday I called for his resignation.
-

nah, they say he's likely working out a deal to resign IF they agree not to press charges. They'll take it.

why would a republican AG not prosecute a democrat that was at one time dubbed a future pres. candidate. especially during an election year.
-
He's getting charged. Theres no way around that.

cause clinton's impeachment made him more popular than ever.
something about putting a man on trial for a victimless crime of lust, that makes the masses adore the guy.
would make the rpub AG look terrible, and boy they'd be digging for his skeeltons all of a sudden!

not quite. spitzer is accused of violating the Mann Act. it bans the interstate transport of females for “immoral purposes.” its primary stated intent was to address prostitution, immorality, and human trafficking.

Clearly this a case of "human trafficking". ::)
