March 01, 2007 D.C. Madame to Sell 10,000 Phone Records of High-End Washington Clients Deborah J. Palfrey is unhappy. And, if you know who Deborah J. Palfrey is—and especially if you know her by Jeane—you probably don’t want her unhappy. From 1993 until this past summer, Palfrey ran Pamela Martin and Associates, a “high-end adult fantasy firm which offered legal sexual and erotic services across the spectrum of adult sexual behavior,” according to a statement she put out today hoping to raise funds for her legal defense. The way she plans to raise those funds could reverberate through Washington’s power corridors. She is considering “selling the entire 46 pounds of detailed and itemized phone records for the 13 year period,” reports The Politico's Ryan Grim. In October, the Internal Revenue Service seized her assets; the sale of the records would fund her fight against the seizure. Palfrey released what she said were a sample of the records, which don’t include names, but do feature a number of Washington area exchanges. Her attorney, Montgomery Blair Sibley, said that prices have yet to be set for the data. “We don’t actually know that yet,” he said, “because we haven’t finished mining the data to identify the individuals. Obviously if Bill Clinton’s on the list that’s a different matter than you know, somebody nobody’s ever heard of before.” But, he said, chances are good that some interesting names will pop up. “Statistically, if you have 10,000 people, and given the structure of this particular service, these weren’t people beckoning from car windows,” he said. “The escorts only responded to four and five star hotels or private residences. And so the landlines will show up on the private residences real quickly.”

Professor Steven Jones was full of it! It was the big bad wolf that huffed and puffed and blew the towers down. Elvis told him to do it! Posted By: Mitch | March 01, 2007 at 04:47 PM Report Abuse

It is sad that we are at the point in this country where having a normal sex drive is somehow considered to be deviant and needas to be supressed. People gladly pay $500 for an exceptional dinner experience when a $15 dinner satisfies your hunger just as well but it is somehow wrong to pay $500 for a transcendental experience between the sheets. Wake up people...it's just sex. Posted By: DigitalBob | March 01, 2007 at 04:20 PM Report Abuse

Yeah, I'm in a high visibilty political position and not single, I'm sure I'm going to use my land line home number to call an escort service! Anyway, for any Dem's uncovered it's a resume enhancement, for any GOP its time to resign, same ol same ol. Posted By: Josh | March 01, 2007 at 04:18 PM Report Abuse

She'll have an accident and the media will censor the story. Censorship is becoming America's favorite past-time. The US gov't already detains protesters, bans books like "America Deceived" from Wiki, and fires BYU professor Steven Jones because he proved thermite downed the WTC buildings. The names of these 'johns' will never see the light of day.

Hmmm? 10,000 people who enjoy an escort? Only in DC where fashion and propaganda outweigh character. Posted By: Schratboy | March 01, 2007 at 04:15 PM Report Abuse

I guess she doesn't plan on being in the Madame business ever again. Why would she destroy her own career like this? For the money? Very shortsighted. Posted By: Poster | March 01, 2007 at 04:13 PM Report Abuse
