March 10, 2008 -- THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY. PLEASE REFRESH FOR UPDATES.
Gov. Eliot Spitzer told officials in his administration that he was involved in a prostitution ring, the New York Times reported. Fox News reported that he will be indicted and will resign.
But in a brief statement this afternoon, Spitzer said little about what he called "a private matter." He apologized to his family and the public but didn't say why he was apologizing. "I was disappointed that I did not live up to the standard that I expected of myself," he said.
He added that he must now "dedicate time to regain the trust of my family."
Spitzer, who is married with three children, made cleaning up the ethics of state government a priority when he was elected.
Feds last week busted a diamond-studded international call-girl ring that offered well-heeled johns "fashion models, pageant winners and exquisite students" for up to $5,500 an hour - after one of the prostitutes turned on her pimp.
Read the Post's story on the call-girl ring bust.
The Times reported that Spitzer was caught on a federal wiretap last month as he arranged to meet a high-priced prostitute in Washington. The recording was of a man identified as Client 9. The Times reported that someone with knowledge of the investigation said Spitzer is Client 9.
The johns paid as much as $50,000 for a weekend with a prostitute and had the option of purchasing a "buy out" of their favorite girls, which allowed them to book trysts directly with the hookers, Manhattan federal prosecutors said.
The Emperors Club, an upscale escort service, ranked its hookers on a seven-diamond scale on its Web site and then charged its wealthy clientele accordingly for "dates," court papers said.
Four people were charged with prostitution and tax crimes for allegedly raking in more than $1 million with a stable of 50 girls that serviced clients in New York, Washington, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, Las Vegas, London, Paris and Vienna.
Spitzer had served two terms as attorney general where he pursued criminal and civil cases and cracked down on misconduct and conflicts of interests on Wall Street and in corporate America. He had previously been a prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, handling organized crime and white-collar crime cases.
His cases as state attorney general included a few criminal prosecutions of prostitution rings and into tourism involving prostitutes.
In 2004, he was part of an investigation of an escort service in New York City that resulted in the arrest of 18 people on charges of promoting prostitution and related charges.

Awesome!!! I just read that, earlier.

Now, if we can dig up some $hit on Richard Daley, Michael Bloomberg, Chuck Schumer, etc. The world would be a better place.

Well, on the positive side at least one of the last things he will be thinking about for awhile is granting driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

I do feel bad for his family.

Interesting how someone who called himself the "steamroller" for going after others for corruption charges (and even trying to bring down a state official for using a state employee to drive his wife to the store) could be caught up in something like this.

Oh well...it's a good thing to have an anti-capitalist, anti-american soveriegnty public official busted in a scandal.

Frank,

Why so narrow minded? You must SEE outside the box. In this case he was helping single mothers make more money. I am sure he was donating proceeds to the charity of the "John's" choice.

Don't forget anti-GUN!

I too feel bad for his family. Makes me wonder how many people knew about this and felt obligated to look the other way? Assistants, body guards, and others close to him on a daily basis.

While Hillary has been campaigning, has Bill been left alone in NY at all?

LOL!

Remember Mitt Romney's comment at one of the debates??

Something I have noticed in all the reports I have seen on this so far, he is not mentioned as a Democrat. If you look at any other ethics violations lately, that involved Republicans, GOP is in the title of every one of them... Just an observation..

Perhaps that is because they don't want the wiretap they used to catch him to seem like a political vendetta
