Katherine Park pointed me to this long ago forgotten story about Robert De Niro, the tough guy, being arrested in France. (See him yell profanities at the Tony Awards HERE.)

He was questioned by authorities because they say he was a client of a prostitution network that entrapped girls, some as young as 15, to service high profile clients.

The investigators couldn’t say for sure if De Niro ever hired an underage prostitute and he sued them for “publicity seeking” when they released his name. His contact information did appear on the busted agency’s client list. What that means is not for me to speculate.

The important take on this is that the prostitution ring did exist, it did entrap underage girls, and it did exist to service “high profile” clients that run in the jet set.
