The list of names may come first.
Washington Sweats...http://patch.com/district-columbia/washingtondc/dc-madams-lawyer-unveils-huge-list-namescapital's long, scandalous history is very much alive and has been traced to the archdiocese, among several thousand other places.
On Monday, court papers linked an archdiocese telephone to Deborah Jeane Palfrey, aka "The D.C. Madam," the woman at the center of a sensational high-level prostitution case that has kept some of Washington's powerful elite on edge for more than a decade now.
More precisely, Palfrey's phone records and an attorney trying to make them public have caused all the anxiety.
A court filing Monday didn't name names of who called the Madam's number; the filing just listed where some of her presumed customers worked.
The case goes back to the early 2000s, when Palfrey was arrested for prostitution-related charges and Washington went abuzz — or lost its buzz — with the discovery that thousands of names and phone numbers of presumed were available.
Things got a lot more serious for all involved when a federal jury found Palfrey guilty in April 2008 of racketeering charges and she committed suicide before her sentencing. As a result, her defense team never shared a CD contained information on those who called her service.
Court orders have forbidden the woman's attorneys from releasing the names.
A court filing first obtained Monday by WTOP radio, though, lists the archdiocese and 173 other entities that had dialed Palfrey's service, Pamela Martin & Associates, between 2000 and 20006, when it serves as as the D.C. Madam's call center.
