Report: Eliot Spitzer Linked To Second Prostitution Ring, Wicked Models

Today's NY Post links former New York governor Eliot Spitzer to Wicked Models, a high-priced prostitution ring busted this week. His spokeswoman denies he was a client. Three weeks ago Spitzer stepped down as governor when he was linked to Emperors Club VIP. Based in midtown Manhattan, Wicked Models was run by a buxom blonde named Kristin "Billie" Davis, who also saw clients. Davis, 32, is currently being held on $2 M bail after pleading not guilty to promoting prostitution and money laundering.
Writes the Post:

The ex-governor regularly patronized Wicked Models, the Manhattan-based operation taken down Tuesday, according to financial documents and other evidence unearthed in a yearlong prostitution in investigation, law-enforcement sources said...

A source said Davis personally serviced Spitzer.

"She personally interfaced with Spitzer a number of times" since 2003 before she became a madam, a source close to Davis said.

When asked about the allegation, Davis told The Post, "I can't talk about it." Spitzer's spokeswoman, Anna Cordasco, countered that "Mr. Spitzer was not ever a client of Ms. Davis."

Wicked Models is rumored to a have a client list that includes athletes and politicians. Writes the NY Daily News, who reported the bust but not the Spitzer link:

Investigators Wednesday night pored over the little black book of an alleged midtown madam whose clients are rumored to include athletes and powerhouse politicians.

Kristin Davis, a busty bottle-blond accused of running a $1,600-an-hour call girl service, was jailed on $2 million bail after pleading not guilty to promoting prostitution and money laundering.

"I think any time she got her hands on someone worth bragging about, she might have kept a memento," said Jason Itzler, the self-proclaimed "King of All Pimps," who claims Davis worked for him in 2004. "She was a rock star escort."

Davis' attorney blames Spitzer, indirectly, for her arrest. According to the NY Times:

As Ms. Davis, wearing a black hooded jacket emblazoned with rhinestones in the shape of a flaming skull, stood in front of a judge, her lawyer, Mark Jay Heller, said that she was "clothed with the cloak of innocence" and was pleading not guilty.

Mr. Heller added that his client believed she was being "persecuted" because the recent investigation into former Gov. Eliot Spitzer's use of prostitutes had created a fervor about call-girl operations.

Wicked Models promised clients Ivy-league educated women and employed dozens of prostitutes. The Wicked Models website is no longer in service, touted, "Wicked Models is home to some of the most beautiful women in the world. We represent many different types of companions..."

His legacy will be that he was a dam good Attorney General!

[marbiol]

...except that he seemed to SELECTIVELY prosecute prostitution rings....

[midknightryder13]

Yeah. That's my big problem with this as well. And that, by all accounts, he WENT OUT OF HIS WAY to go after those rings. It's the hypocracy that bothers me -- MUCH more than the fact he used these services. (Which, btw, I think should be legal -- but that's another thread.)

[doodlefarbe]

"Ms." Davis has heavy supraorbital ridges. I think she used to be Mr. Davis.

[Tommie27]

HAH--HAH--HAHHHHH

[kissmygrits]

Now THAT would be news for old Eliot!

[MPCarr]

Conan O'brien joked last week, after former Gov. McGreevey's (D-NJ) revelations about threesomes with his wife and his male assistant, "Gov. Spizter (D-NY), your move!" suggesting that Spitzer now had to top McGreevey in sleaziness.

Having sex with a transexual prostitute is a pretty good allegation to up the ante.

Credit though to the new Gov. Patterson (D-NY). Even though he had his sex for free, he and his wife had many partners and he paid for some hotel rooms with govt. money. And then the drug revelations. He is a tough competitor, especially after becoming known nationally only a week ago.

[HatingTheGame]

I actually find it more respectful towards his wife and daughter. He is interested in purely economic relationship, isn't interested in having affairs, wants to keep it clean. No body gets hurt.

As opposed to others, say like Newt, that have affairs, and then dump their wives when they're dying of cancer.

The French are good with this. They have mistresses, and everyone knows, altho I am sure both the wives and the mistress "suffer" but at least marraiges stay together, and families are whole (even if they have extra marital people).

The Americans prefer either to cheat and serially dump their spouses, or pay for the sex, and keep it all business.

I think we're such prudes. The rest of the world laughs at us because we as a culture, with our repressed and puritan morality, force ourselves into positions like Spitzer, Larry Craig, and all the rest.

[BenjiG]

Um, I think it's the duplicity that's the problem here. Clearly you don't think it's wrong to use other people for sex, but set the fact that you have no moral compass aside for a minute and try to focus on the fact that the basis of marriage is an exclusive relationship in most cases. Unless any of them agreed to open marriages or weren't married in churches that forbade sexual relations outside the marriage, they are not honoring their commitments and living in a duplicitious, hypocritical way. You should move to France if you want to live that way and have a madonna at home and a whore on the side, tough guy.

[NicoleAnonymous]

What is the divorce rate in France? If it's around the same as ours than maybe that doesn't work either.

[Ramirez]

The divorce rate is not that important because the French do not marry anyway.
From WaPo:
****

"French marriage rates are 45 percent below U.S. figures. In 2004, the most recent year for which figures are available, the marriage rate in France was 4.3 per 1,000 people, compared with 5.1 in the United Kingdom and 7.8 in the United States. The only European countries with rates lower than France's were Belgium, at 4.1, and Slovenia, with 3.3."

[GoreyFantod]

I'm with ya all the way, except for the part where he tried to pay for unsafe sex. That's more than sleazy & certainly not "clean." We stereotype sex workers as vectors for disease - isn't that exactly what Spitzer is?

[pigsatthetrough]

My second thought on this story. It would appear that Arianna's writers are not cleaving themselves from the cleavage stories normally found on Fox News. It is now easy to see they are also not Hillary supporters, as they certainly don't give her cleavage the same exposure.

[chuckgraner]

Nice boobs for a tranny.

[lean2454]

Is this topic really worth covering anymore?

[chuckgraner]

Was it ever really worth covering at all?

[NicoleAnonymous]

Why isn't Huffington Post writing about the fact that they now admit the person who gave the FBI information about Spitzer is the same person who made threatening phone calls to Spitzer's family and when the police traced it to his phone, he admitted it was from his home but claimed someone must have broken in and been impersonating him? Why aren't they writing about about how Spitzer had recently been speaking out about how Bush and his administration knew about all the mortgage fraud and how they're protecting banks the same way they always do? Why aren't they writing about someone decided to tell the NYT the identity of Spitzer but not any of the other clients? And why did they do it THE SAME WEEK that the Fed decided to bail out an investment bank and allow them to borrow money although only commercial banks are supposed to do that?

This is NOT about prostitution. I'm sure they're going to censure this.

[dameofdismay]

I agree NicoleAnonymous.

What I care about are the hundreds of boarded up houses in my community driving prices further in the toilet. I care about how our government is giving crooked bankers $200 Billion plus while the hard working families they stole from are out on the street. I care about how a person who openly criticizes the Bush administration in a scathing Washington Post op ed is out of office 30 days later. What I don't care about, no matter how titillating, is who Eliot Spitzer has sex with.

[nogimmicks]

You have just written about this on Huff Post. Some other questions: who are Mark Brenner and Jason Itzler and have they played a role in exposing Spitzer's affairs?

[NicoleAnonymous]

But I'm not being paid to write about important issues - they are. I don't know anything about Itzler except that he ran the escort company and Brenner is a lawyer who works on cases involving debt and bankruptcy. I know the Bush administration was involved in this but it's impossible to prove.

That is what journalists are supposed to do when they investigate but journalists are doing that. I've worked for financial companies and I know what they're capable of and how they would destroy anyone who threatens them. Sometimes I think I'll just tell the world everything I know that goes on behind the scenes but then I know they have expensive lawyers who will sue people who talk about working at those companies because they make you sign agreements not to ever talk about it.

[LewisR]

Yes, why is Roger Stone getting a pass on all this when the Feds have already debunked the Spitzer - Davis story? it's just not true, and the real story of mister sleeze Stone is MIA.

[robotfog]

why is spitzer the only famous person whose name is out? There has to be other rich and influential people involved. How come we don't see a list?

[dereknyc]

Arab Muslims butcher other Arab Muslims daily in Iraq.

But, predictably, the immoral lefty cabal and other "God Da** America" types always blames it on US since they hate US more than the murderers in Iraq (certainly not cause they give a damn about innocent Iraqis)

[PackyJ]

And your comments have what, exactly, to do with Eliot Spitzer?

[PACRAT]

Oh no, not another prostitution ring for Spitzer!

Whether the so-called link is true or not, at least Spitzer resigned immediately - accompanied by his long suffering wife who, I hope, won't suffer much longer by dumping the creep.

He did not say "I did not have sex with that woman." Can't remember, but didn't another political make that statement?

[Stanley]

Politicians go free but prostitutes are in jail on $2 million bond. Is tis really a law enforcement priority to clog our courts or a political trap blackmailng those in power and taking over our system for the price of a whore? Watch out what who we demonize and keep an eye on who benefits.

[Whinger]

Viagara has a lot to answer for, it erases all memory of marriage vows turning otherwise honorable men into lecherous adulterers.

[naschkatze]

Geez, when did this guy find time to do his job?

[FDRbyGodDemocrat]

Kinda sounds like he was taking care of business. Oh, you meant being governor...

[DMM1029]

The bail set in this case is absolutely outrageous. This is not murder.

[HereNow]

Damn,
All this press about women getting so much for sex, is sure gonna mess up my Saturday nights.
I dont even feel good about being hustled for drinks.

[dadw5boys]

Every whore in 5 states will be callin up claiming they did him for media attention.
