Call girl ring head: Ex-gov. was client

New York, Oct. 23: The former head of a high-end Manhattan call girl ring has finally confirmed on Thursday that disgraced ex-New York governor Eliot Spitzer was a client.

Kristin Davis, whose Wicked Models had more than 2,000 johns paying $900-an-hour, was linked to the pervy pol in March, after Mr Spitzer admitted to patronising a different escort service. "I’d like to take this opportunity to set the record straight. While it is true that Mr Spitzer, as well as many other celebrities, patronised women employed by my former agencies, what is not accurate are the rumours that I personally serviced Mr Spitzer or acted as his personal Madam Butterfly," the New York Post quoted Davis, as saying.

Davis, 32, pleaded guilty to promoting prostitution for running the service. She was sentenced to three months time served and will have to forfeit $476,000 at her December 4 sentencing. Mr Spitzer’s unmasking as "Client No. 9" led to his shameful resignation. He was not charged with a crime, but he became a laughingstock after a tipster revealed he kept his socks on while being serviced. —ANI
