Of all the officials who should know what a serious transgression it is to transport a prostitute across state lines in violation of the federal Mann Act — passed in 1910 to stop the white slavery sex trade — surely the sitting governor of New York and that state’s former attorney general is near the top of the list. Surely Eliot Spitzer knew what he was doing when he arranged to meet a prostitute in the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, Feb. 13 during a telephone call overheard by federal investigators. The prostitute was provided by the Emperor’s Club VIP international prostitution ring based in New York. The ring’s top clients paid $5,500 an hour. The transcript clearly indicated the call was not Spitzer’s first with the ring. If he avoids prosecution, it will fuel new accusations of a double standard for those in public life.
