Affidavit: Client 9 and Room 871

By ALAN FEUER and IAN URBINA
Published: March 11, 2008
It was after 9 p.m. the night before Valentine’s Day when she arrived, a young brunette named Kristen. She was 5-foot-5, 105 pounds. Pretty and petite.
This was at the Mayflower, one of Washington’s finer hotels. Her client for the evening had booked Room 871. He was a return customer. The hundreds of dollars he had promised to pay would cover all expenses: the room, the minibar, room service should they order it, the train ticket that had brought her from New York and, naturally, Kristen’s time.
A 47-page federal affidavit from an F.B.I. agent investigating a prostitution ring lists the man at the hotel as “Client 9,” and includes considerable details about him, the prostitutes and his methods of paying for them. A law enforcement official and another person briefed on the prostitution case have identified Client 9 as Eliot Spitzer, the governor of New York.
Kristen, having already passed through the lobby, with its wing chairs and its gilded half-clad cherubs, arrived in a small room in a quiet corner of the “Club Floor,” a special wing for V.I.P.’s. A king-size bed commanded the carpeted floor. Two photos — of the Capitol and the Washington Monument — hung on the walls.
As soon as she came in, Kristen called her boss, Temeka Lewis, who was the booking agent for the Emperor’s Club, an online prostitution ring, the affidavit said. Ms. Lewis told her that the client had arrived. He was headed for the room. An assignation of more than an hour ensued, according to the affidavit, which was unsealed Thursday morning in Federal District Court in Manhattan.
Room 871 had been booked under the name George Fox, a pseudonym that Client 9 had been using, and one by which several people in the ring knew him, according to a law enforcement official. However, a few of the prostitutes had recently come to realize who the man really was, the official said.
The affidavit said Client 9 approached the Emperor’s Club last month, requesting an appointment on Feb. 13 at 9 or 10 p.m. The appointment was to be in Washington, and he sent along what appears to have been a deposit of cash by mail.
Apparently, it was not his first time using the service. The affidavit captures the almost mundane financial back-and-forth prior to the meeting, quoting Ms. Lewis as telling her boss, Mark Brener, the owner of the ring, that Client 9 had a $400 or $500 credit to his name and wished to use it toward his next appointment. When Ms. Lewis spoke to the client on Feb. 12, the affidavit said, she told him that his deposit had not yet arrived and asked if he had sent it to a business known as Qat.
“Yup, same as in the past,” the client said. “No question about it.”
After these initial matters were discussed, Ms. Lewis reached out to Kristen, the affidavit said, writing in a text message : “If D.C. appt. happens u will need 2 leave NYC @ 4:45 p.m.” The next day she sent along a possible itinerary: Amtrak’s Train No. 129 departed Pennsylvania Station at 5:39 p.m. and arrived in Washington at 9. The following evening, Train No. 84 departed Washington at 8:35 p.m. and pulled into New York at 11:57.
Minutes after sending this text message, Ms. Lewis took another call from Client 9 and told him that his “package” had arrived. In a prior conversation, Client 9 had already told her that he had booked a room and had paid for it in his own name and now asked who was coming. Ms. Lewis told him it would be Kristen and, according to the affidavit, he responded: “Great, O.K., wonderful.”
Still, there were some “payment issues” to discuss. Ms. Lewis asked if he could give Kristen “extra funds” at the appointment and the client said that he would see what he could do. The agency did not like models to handle money for future meetings, Ms. Lewis said, but this time they would make an exception so they wouldn’t have to go through it again.
The papers quote Kristen and the woman who sent her on the job talking about a man believed to be Client 9, who might make requests of prostitutes “you might not think were safe.” But Kristen, according to the papers, was prepared: “I have a way of dealing with that,” she is quoted as having told the woman. “I’d be like, ‘Listen, dude, you really want the sex?’... You know what I mean.”

3月10日，斯皮策露面认错

新华网消息 据《纽约时报》等美国媒体10日报道，美司法机关官员通过电话窃听认定，纽约州州长斯皮策卷入了与妓女进行性交易的丑闻。
据一位知情人士透露，斯皮策是一个高端卖淫网络“皇帝俱乐部”的客户，代号“客户9”。 司法人员窃听到了他谈论把一名妓女从纽约送到华盛顿一家酒店的电话内容。 电话记录显示，斯皮策谈到了妓女身材特征，并且准备支付4300美元现金的嫖资。
根据美国国会1910年通过的曼恩法，安排妓女进行跨州性交易属犯罪行为。美国共和党和民主党一些官员纷纷表示，斯皮策应引咎辞职。
当地10日下午3时许(北京时间11日)，斯皮策携妻子在其曼哈顿办公室公开露面，称自己存在过错，向家人及公众正式道歉。 面对众多记者，斯皮策说：“我未能坚守自己的道德标准，我将努力重新获得家庭的信任。” 斯皮策拒绝就自己的政治前途予以评论。当记者们问他是否将辞职时，斯皮策一言不发，夺门而出。
斯皮策是美国民主党人士，曾任纽约州总检察长，于2006年当选纽约州州长。斯皮策因着力整顿金融秩序，打击商界巨头的不法行为享誉美国政坛，一度被称为“华尔街州长”。 在担任总检察长期间，身为打击团伙犯罪工作组领导的斯皮策处理过至少两起卖淫团伙的案件。当时他曾慷慨陈辞，怒斥卖淫团伙的种种劣行。
