Ho No! NY Governor In Prostitute Sex Scandal, Resigns

Ho No! That was the headline on the front page of a newspaper. Very catchy and ironic, from "oh no!" into "ho no!". It was directly referring to the prostitute (call girl) which New York Governor Eliot Spitzer patronised on the eve of Valentine's Day 2008 in a hotel in Washington DC. Now, Spitzer has a new shame name, Client 9. The girl, as on the right, is Kristen, full name Ashley Alexandra Dupre, whose MySpace page has been experiencing a massive hike in hits. Kristen is a 22-year-old would-be singer from New Jersey who left home at 17 and had gone through life difficult life stages like being broke and homeless, plus drug abuse.

All this were results of the wiretapping implemented to watch out for fraud and money laundering activities among politicians, which led to the beginning of the end for Client 9. Earlier on, the Emperors Club VIP was busted for allegedly running a prostitution ring.

"When the Emperors Club VIP said it was sending Kristen, a call girl described as a "petite, very pretty brunette," Client 9 was pleased. "Great, OK, wonderful," he said, according to an affidavit. Client 9, later revealed to be New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, was caught arranging the liaison on a federal wiretap. It was the beginning of the end for him"

Federal agents have determined New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer used a high-priced call-girl ring at least eight times in recent months. The affidavit states "Client 9" paid $4,300 for 2½ hours with a call girl he arranged to meet at Washington's Mayflower Hotel, with some of that a deposit on a future session. Court papers state he also paid for train tickets, cab fare, mini-bar and room service charges for Kristen -- a 5-foot-5, 105-pound brunette he arranged to meet the night of February 13.
