D.C. Madam: Deborah Palfrey

D.C. Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey who had been charged with running a Washington, D.C., prostitution ring was found guilty on Tuesday for money laundering, racketeering, and using the mail for illegal purposes according to Fox News.

She was convicted on all counts she faced: Money laundering, using the mail for illegal purposes and racketeering. The jury deliberated for seven hours on Monday and Tuesday.

The weeklong trial in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia included the testimony of 13 former escorts, most of whom said that Palfrey was careful not to talk about prostitution explicitly. But the women said they often discussed the subject with Palfrey in veiled terms.

Former Palfrey call girl Rebecca Dickinson testified last week about what she got paid for sex and how much she gave to Palfrey.
