Madam' hangs herself</a></center><br /><center><em>The Vallejo woman known as the "D.C. Madam" hanged herself at her mother's home in Florida, two weeks after a federal jury convicted her of running a prostitution service whose clients included some well-known Washington insiders, police said today.<br /><br />Deborah Jeane Palfrey, 52, was found hanged with a nylon rope in a shed on her mother's property in Tarpon Springs, about 20 miles northwest of Tampa on Florida's Gulf Coast. Palfrey's 76-year-old mother, Blanche Palfrey, found the body this morning after awakening from a nap, Tarpon Springs police Capt. Jeffrey Young said at a news conference.</em></center><br /><br /><center><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href='http://www.huffingtonpost.com/susan-kaiser-greenland/the-dc-madam-she-took-the_b_99707.html'>The DC Madam: She Took the Fall for Everyone</a></center><br /><center><em>You may be surprised that a middle-aged mom is writing a post advocating the legalization of prostitution. Here's why. A short while ago, news got out that the DC Madam killed herself while visiting her mother in Florida: a death that was really unnecessary.<br /><br />For those who haven't followed the salacious story of the DC Madam, her name was Deborah Jeane Palfrey and she ran what she referred to as a "legal and high-end erotic fantasy service" that catered to elite clients in Washington, DC. In mid-April, a jury found her guilty of money laundering, using the mail for illegal purposes and racketeering. Ms. Palfrey's known clients included Senator David Vitter and Randall Tobias, a former State Department official. Her client list apparently contained thousands of names including high-ranking officials at the White House and Pentagon, movie stars, lobbyists, and prominent DC attorneys.</em></center><br /><br /><p><i><font size="1">Technorati Tags:<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/prostitution">prostitution</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/dc madam">dc madam</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/dc madam suicide">dc madam suicide</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/deborah jean palfrey">deborah jean palfrey</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/legalized prostitution">legalized prostitution</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/randall tobias">randall tobias</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/randall tobias prostitution">randall tobias prostitution</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/sen. david vitter">sen. david vitter</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/victimless crimes">victimless crimes</a>, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/living news">living news</a></font></i><br><font size="1">Generated By <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.gospelrhys.co.uk/">Technorati Tag Generator</a></font><div class="blogger-post-footer"><center><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href='http://worldwidewebcams.blogspot.com'>WorldWide Webcams - Adults Only</a></center></div>
