A Naval Academy instructor worked as an "independent contractor" for a Washington-area escort service whose owner is accused in federal charges of running a prostitution ring, the escort service's former owner's lawyer said last night.</p>
<p>Montgomery Blair Sibley, an attorney who represents Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the so-called D.C. Madam, in a related civil case involving the government's seizure of her assets, confirmed a report yesterday on the Navy Times Web site that the female academy teacher was among 132 contractors who provided "legal sexual and erotic services" to clients in the greater Washington area....
<p>Apparently Ms Palfrey gave ABC News "hundreds of pounds" of telephone documents which could be used to identify the 130+ "contractors" and their "contractees." She had threatened to sell the documents to the hgihest bidder for cash to pay for her defense (her bank account was frozen), but the judge blocked that attempt.</p>
<p>Part of her defense is that the contractors were only to provide "legal" services" and she had no idea that they violated the agreement with her and her company and provided "illegal" services.</p>
<p>'Twas quite fascinating listening to Ms. Palfrey discuss her sordid situation in her press conference. Had one no idea of her corporate mission and the services being rendered, one might have suspected she was readily providing cleaning services to the Pentagon or selling widgets to foreign governments. All this talk of "sub-contractors" , "sales clients," and "legal services." And that she'd been wronged, perhaps even bankrupted by this legal morass and the legal fees to be forecast in order to maintain the rightful privacy of her sales clients merited by the United States Constitution. Madam, your linguistics make my head spin. :eek: For a moment, I almost thought you were operating a mobile brothel. :cool: Silly me. What could I have been thinking. :confused:</p>
<p>Alas, I do not think the money was all that great, either. It is said she has been working at this since 1993 and made 2.075 million thru 2006. That's only 159,600 a year?!?</p>

<p>And let's just hope she was not in charge of any internship program. Nah, couldn't possibly be any connection with the Owens scenario. Nah. :eek:</p>
