Dc Madam is the nickname given to Deborah Jeane Palfrey. She was born in the year 1956. Formerly she owned Pamela Martin and Associates which has been alleged to carry on prostitution services by the United States government in Washington DC. For operating a house of prostitution she has been charged. The services she offered were legal are what she claims to the government allegations.
The news media has given her the nickname Dc Madam. The State Department officer Randall L Tobias admitted that he used the agency and so he resigned. Her clients also include strong personalities of Beltway. David Vitter who is the US Republican Senator on July 9, 2007 issued a form of apology because of his involvement in this association when he was exposed through telephone records considering it as the biggest sin of his life.
Dc Madam currently resides in Escondido, California. Though she was born in Charleroi, Pennsylvania she grew up in Orlando, Florida partially. With a degree in criminal justice she graduated from Rollins College. She also attended the Thomas Jefferson School of Law but couldnt graduate. Her father was a grocer by profession. In San Diego, California she worked as a paralegal and as a cocktail waitress later on.
Soon she got involved in the business of escorting; the widespread drug abuse and the condition of how services were run made her start her own company. On May 4, 2007 as a part of investigative report Dc Madam appeared on ABCs 20/20. She had around 10,000 to 15,000 numbers of clients according to her statements given to government officials.
Ambassador Randall L Tobias had to resign from his State Department position with the US Agency for International Development due to this scandal. Harlan Ullman who was a columnist in Washington Times of the Center for Strategic and International Studies was named in the list of the people involved as clients with Dc Madam. She released for the public viewing the supposed entirety of her phone records on July 9, 2007.
She also let out information for downloading it on the internet in TIFF format. 54 CD ROM copies were dispatched to activists, journalists and researchers by her Dc Madams civil attorney Montgomery Blair Sibley some days prior to the scandal. It was acknowledged by Senator David Vitter on the night of July 9 that he himself was a customer of this association of prostitution services.
A restraining order from a former boyfriend in 1989 and arrest for prostitution in 1990 were some prior legal problems Dc Madam had. Her escorts charged as much as 300 dollars per hour according to court papers and many of them even had professional careers. A raid was even made on her home in October 2006 after an investigation by the Internal Revenue Service for around two years.
