Eliot Spitzer is under investigation for allegedly meeting with a prostitute in a Washington hotel, two sources with knowledge of the investigation tell CNN. One of the sources said Spitzer is identified in a criminal complaint as “Client-9,” and that Spitzer’s alleged involvement was caught on a federal wiretap.
The criminal complaint involved an alleged high-end prostitution ring run out of New York. Four individuals were charged last week with allegedly running it.
Prosecutors say the ring provided prostitutes costing as much as $3,100 an hour. The criminal complaint did not name any customers, but authorities did intercept text messages, e-mails and telephone calls.
Spitzer on Monday said he “acted in way that violates his obligation to his family,” without elaborating or taking questions.
His statement came hours after the New York Times reported he told senior administration officials he had been involved in a prostitution ring.
While I love seeing statist like Spitzer getting his this is just ridiculous. 1) Who the hell cares about his infidelity? 2) Why do we continue this retarded prohibition on individuals exchanging money for sex? 3) Why the hell is the federal government wiretapping people who are suspect of requesting or providing sex for money? I sortof understand 1 and 2 but no one in the media is making any sortof noise about 2 & 3. There are all kinds of property rights issues and Constitutional questions here that no one is bringing up outside the libertarian and civil liberty news circles. I don’t think much needs to be said really. [insert your typical anti-prostitution prohibition and pro privacy / 4th Amendment argument here]. Aren’t they supposed to be busy spying on Americans speaking with foreigners or something?
