      Spitzer 2010 Was Billed for Tryst Hotel

      Eliot Spitzer's filings for his now-defunct 2010 reelection campaign, released yesterday, included two payments to the Mayflower Hotel in Washington—the site of his infamous trysts with call girls, the New York Times reports. Though it's unclear whether Spitzer himself stayed there, and if so on what nights, misuse of public campaign money is one of the potential charges the former New York governor could face for his participation in a prostitution ring.

"The sex trafficking of children remains one of the most violent and unforgivable crimes in this country," said FBI chief Robert Mueller. More »

      Feds Nail Down Case Against Spitzer

      The case against Eliot Spitzer is so strong that prosecutors have decided not to strike a deal with the head of the disgraced ex-governor's preferred call girl ring, the New York Post reports. Rather than making a plea agreement, the Emperors Club VIP honcho will plead guilty Thursday. Meanwhile, the feds are probing whether Spitzer used campaign funds to pay for his $4,000-an-hour trysts.

      'DC Madam' Guilty, Guilty, Guilty

      Rejecting the defense that she didn't know her escorts were having sex with clients, a federal jury convicted the "DC Madam," who, WTOP–FM reports, met today's verdict with a sigh. Deborah Jeane Palfrey, whose prostitution-ring bust implicated Washington highbrows, including a Louisiana senator, faces up to 55 years on racketeering and money-laundering charges at her sentencing in July.

      Spitzer's Sex Ring Run by Unlikely Madams

      The prostitution ring that Eliot Spitzer patronized had at its center an unlikely quartet: a 62-year-old former tax specialist and three highly educated women, one only 23 years old. All four have pleaded not guilty to a host of charges, including prostitution, in federal court. The New York Times investigates what drove the managers of the 3-year-old Emperor's Club to careers as a pimp and madams. More »
