RANDOLPH -- A woman who once ran a brothel out of a Morris Township mansion in the 1990s is on the hook with her husband for $308,000 in fines for allegedly renting out a Randolph home illegally, the Daily Record reported.

Judith Kelly Dempsey, once known as the "Morristown madam" or the "Morris mansion madam," co-owns a property on Prince Henry Drive with her husband Edwin Accinni, the newspaper reported. The couple now lives in Florida, but they're accused of violating a township zoning ordinance that bars the renting of rooms in single-family homes, the newspaper reported.

Accinni, who failed to appear in Randolph court over the summer, has appealed the judge's ruling earlier this year ordering him to pay a $308,000 fine and spend 90 days in jail, the Daily Record reported. The fine is based on a calculation of monthly rents paid for bedrooms between 2011 and Sept. 3, 2014, the newspaper reported.

As reported by The Star-Ledger in Nov. 1999, Dempsey, a former Playboy bunny, ran a brothel known as "Afternoon Delight" out of her home -- Sunnymede, a $1 million turn-of-the-century mansion filled with Louis XIV furniture and Victorian antiques. Authorities said Dempsey had employed four women at the mansion as $225-per-hour prostitutes.

Dempsey was sentenced to probation in 1999 for running the brothel but she was busted three months later at a Hanover motel where she was working as a $200-an-hour hooker, the newspaper reported at the time. Dempsey was sentenced in Nov. 1999 to 270 days in county jail for violating the terms of her probation.

Accinni, Dempsey's fiance in 1999, was also charged in connection with the prostitution bust. He was sentenced to pretrial intervention, according to the 1999 Star-Ledger article.
