Woman Accused of Running Prostitution Ring on East Side
By ANDY NEWMAN
A woman was arrested Tuesday afternoon and accused of running a large prostitution ring on the East Side, the police said.

The woman, Kristen Davis, 32, operated four Web sites and had her employees, who charged up to $1,200 an hour, meet clients in apartments she kept in the neighborhood, law enforcement officials said.

The police said they were looking to arrest about 15 prostitutes who worked for Ms. Davis. Investigators seized $19,000 cash from Ms. Davis’s apartment and froze $500,000 in bank accounts linked to her, the police said.

She was arrested at her apartment, at 235 East 40th Street, and charged with money laundering and promoting prostitution, said Detective Cheryl Crispin.

The women who worked for Ms. Davis would meet clients at apartments at 229 East 53rd Street and at 533 Third Avenue near East 36th Street, the police said.

A longtime resident of 533 Third Avenue who would not give her name said she had noticed a brisk lunchtime traffic of men in suits and pretty women in their 20s taking the elevator up to the sixth floor. At first, said the woman, a 69-year-old retired typesetter, she thought the women might be doing freelance secretarial work, but after a while she grew suspicious.

“When you live in a building, you know who belongs here and who doesn’t,” she said. “The business people in this building don’t come home for lunch.”

Ms. Davis’s lawyer, Mark Jay Heller, said his client had worked in the hedge fund industry and had no previous arrests. He added that she had filed tax returns every year since turning 18, held a bachelor’s degree and had 30 credits toward a master’s in psychology.

Mr. Heller previously represented David Berkowitz, the “Son of Sam” killer, and Jeb Corliss, who was arrested in 2006 for trying to parachute off the Empire State Building.

Al Baker, Colin Moynihan and Mathew R. Warren contributed reporting.

In response to Poster Brat Eliot Spitzer hifalutin fuckin' around, we're gonna crack down on the prostitutes? Not on public officials who patronize prostitutes?

That doesn't sound like Change to me. That sounds like Politics Is A Business As Usual.

Speaking of Business As Usual, Let's Make a Deal.

We'll give Eliot Spitzer and the Emperors Club's handsomely paid servants immunity in exchange for the names of every government official and employee...read that, people whose salaries and benefits are paid by American taxpayers...who are known to patronize this or any other prostitution service.

What the hell, we're ALL about McCarthyism these days...we'll take the names of any G-Men known OR SUSPECTED of patronizing prostitution/escort/callgirl services.

Well said. My guess is that Michael Bloomberg is going to shut them all down before HIS name comes out.

What's wrong with paying for sex?

This is a needed industry since some men simply have to pay for it.

Figures that lizard brain would be attracted to this headline. Careful about speaking for yourself, yet again.

Gee, I'd have guessed that you'ld be against it - then again, maybe you want to be a hooker too. I'm sure that SOMEBODY prefers "women" like you.

And some women need the money since they hate to actually work for it.
