and their johns. Hmmm, wonder which politicians and television talking heads were a frequent client of Pamela Martin and Associates? Probably moral scolds like Joe Lieberman and Bill Frist.
Feds Seek To Gag D.C. Madam - March 7, 2007 :
Federal prosecutors want to gag an indicted former Washington, D.C. madam who has recently threatened to go public with details about her former customers. In a motion filed Monday in U.S. District Court, investigators are seeking a protective order covering discovery material to be provided to Deborah Palfrey and her lawyers. Palfrey, 50, was indicted last week on racketeering and money laundering charges stemming from her operation of the Pamela Martin & Associates escort service, which closed last summer after 13 years in business. In their motion, a copy of which you'll find below, government lawyers claim that some discovery documents contain “personal information” about Palfrey's former johns and prostitutes that is “sensitive.”
More details and copy of the filing at the Smoking Gun. For the record, I'm of the belief that prostitution should be legalized and regulated as it is in the Netherlands or other more progressive countrys. But our nation's puritanical stubbornness makes that an unlikely scenario.
