Welcome back -- everybody has Manhattan madam attic pristine -- lawyers try to make her outrageously high two million dollar bail.
Caps continue to make arrests in what is a broadening investigation.
Of a business that is as easy to find as take out food in Manhattan.
Now -- our -- here in New York very prevalent you look at the back of the village voice.
To see numerous ads for escort services I guess it's legal depending on how the girl -- a guy.
-- -- For the past thirty years private investigator Vincent Pargo has investigated numerous brothels that -- -- in plain sight by claiming they offer nothing more than companionship.
Where it is it crossed the line.
-- crosses the line when the girl to guy gets in the room.
What the customer.
And they make an overt act they'll say I wanna I wanna extra money for this particular act they get away with with advertisements.
Like this -- this is a village voice here scantily clad women.
Offering phone numbers offering services.
It's pretty apparent.
That their advertising percent yes it is.
To demonstrate one -- park goes angels an undercover investigator will call Sarah answered some help wanted ads in the village voice and -- On wheel and here are aware of what kind of business we we are.
He will either is wonderful escort as it stands that's here and that's what they're very -- Very.
She can't exactly say.
What she's expected but she said it's a very adult suppose that's very difference very grown up.
So I think she's trying to make sure she gets -- -- had it for a walk on those tours what's expected of me about it -- -- are made numerous calls and each agency -- cautious made it clear that sex would be expected to have her.
All other -- it -- that's -- big -- of a do we have to master data as well.
I didn't do we -- yesterday as well.
I had.
Every round pick and -- what is comfortable -- -- so.
Some people they say.
We don't tell you what do it at eight bit what you're comfortable it.
-- says she's not.
Holding back even on the telephone or not she did not hold back again it goes right back to -- this means if I wanna take it to the next -- I mean masturbation.
And exchange money is still legally.
Prostitution.
As a form of -- an exchange of money.
-- proposition yes please have you ever worked before but yes I have you know -- did.
I do.
After a brief conversation and a request for some photos.
This agency was ready to put -- to work immediately.
And I thought.
I would -- And then throw it that's really what.
And then I get -- have.
I keep right.
This madam offered -- -- drivers to take her to the John's location as a form of security.
But drivers wait in the car while the girls are alone what their clients.
We only have a drive over the -- we -- I'm gonna pull that drive.
Okay and then is -- is all of under -- or is it some occasional.
-- -- I mean I like -- -- but the -- -- my -- in the restaurant we got.
No -- exactly did she was pretty much up front an open and she use potatoes as the form.
I wanna and you know perhaps that's -- client.
So and then again street -- something and you know I mean potatoes -- extra.
So I'm constantly the code word -- this industry is tennis the driver operates as a bodyguard you're actually probably going off to the guy's house or hotel.
So which could still be -- safe but I could still.
Rape or kill you and site does mean nothing -- at a -- an outside.
Like the Long Island serial killer -- killed prostitutes there was a driver and one of the case it's looking for the girl he sat in bodies are still coming up.
Wouldn't pretty and -- you we're interested in an agency like this -- apparently that's what they're doing is.
Providing sex.
For -- John's.
I've they would be interest ability get a specific complaint that I thought I would go with every that Asia's initiative would have enough manpower for that.
So it's pretty apparent the -- -- cases not just about prostitution.
Even her new lawyer Gary Greenwald has said -- quote becoming more and more apparent to me that this cases.
Much more than this one charge against my client.
This case appears to be -- less about prostitution and more about corruption.
And some people familiar with the investigation have speculated to me that.
There could be political types tied to the Manhattan madam perhaps even another governor governor.
Besides governor Eliot Spitzer who lives within driving distance to the New York area.
Around another governor another governor within driving distance of New York -- that I think -- kid from Jersey.
Pennsylvania.
