Let's Put the 'Real' Criminals in Jail

OK - I have 2 things to say about the article below:

1) Should this woman really be spending 15 years in jail and having my tax money spent in this way - how about the owner of the place? They know who he is! Even so, I say FIRST get all the muggers, muerderers, rapists, and child molesters locked up, and then IF there is any room left over you can think about escorts. Talk about going for the low-hanging fruit

2) FYI - If your going to court and are going to plead Not Guilty to prostitution, try to dress appropriately!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A $2,000 an hour prostitute known as New York's No. 1 Escort pleaded not guilty on Thursday to charges of money laundering and prostitution that stemmed from her bragging in the media about her work.

Canadian Natalia McLennan, 25, sobbed uncontrollably in Manhattan Criminal Court after she was unable to post $50,000 bail and was taken away in handcuffs to jail.

The charges against McLennan came after she bragged in several interviews about her professional exploits, including posing provocatively for the cover of New York Magazine under the headline "N.Y.'s # 1 Escort Reveals All." In that interview, she told the magazine she generated revenues of $1.5 million annually and kept 45 percent of that sum in return for having sex with high-roller clients of NY Confidential, a swanky Moroccan-themed brothel in Manhattan.

McLennan showed up for her arraignment dressed in a skimpy mini-skirt, a see-through blouse and four-inch spike heels, and told the court she had no idea she would remain in custody after the hearing. She wailed as she was taken from the courtroom. She will remain in jail pending her next hearing on Monday. She faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
