[quote=MARRIE,275898]The Grasso case was scarcely the first time Spitzer had focused on sexual themes. After becoming attorney-general in 1999 he went after several prostitution rings, promising to “clean up neighbourhoods” and “prevent the abuse of young women”.

In 2003 he filed charges against a New York travel agency, alleging that it organised “sex tours” to southeast Asia, where its operations led “to the systematic exploitation and suppression of young women”.

Yet the praise he earned as “crusader of the year” (Time magazine), and “the enforcer” (Fortune magazine) evaporated the moment he was exposed last week as “client No 9” of the Emperors Club, a purportedly high-class escort service that was revealed in court papers to be a seedy and mostly shambolic front for a low-class prostitution network that stretched from Los Angeles to London.

Far from providing “an exquisite array of carefully selected companions” who would make clients’ lives “more peaceful, balanced, beautiful and meaningful” – as the club’s website boasted – it often scrambled to find prostitutes not addled by drugs.

The court papers, including extracts from wiretaps and reports from an undercover agent who infiltrated the club, reveal endless haggling between clients and pimps over payment and the quality of the girls provided. One girl was described as looking “like a butcher”; another was described as “clueless”.

One girl left an assignation early because she had to pick up her children from school. A London-based girl did not want to provide sex because £500 an hour was “not a price I would ever consider of doing it for [sic]”.

It has also become clear that although the club rated its girls according to their “education, sophistication and ambiance [sic]” – with a three-diamond girl fetching $1,000 an hour and a seven-diamond girl rating $3,100 an hour – the prostitutes were interchangeable and adopted different names to meet a client’s request. One girl had to be reminded that her name for a date was Samantha.
