MADAM DROPS NEW BOMBSHELL
By LAURA ITALIANO, STEFANIE COHEN and LUKAS I. ALPERT
June 29, 2006 -- The Brazilian bombshell charged with running an upscale brothel has told cops she has an ex-husband - and named a second hot-shot corporate executive as her sugar daddy.
"I wouldn't have kept having sex with him or any of these guys if they weren't paying," Manhattan madam Andreia Schwartz, 31, confessed to police in a statement.
And one reason for that is another shocker: She doesn't "really have sex with guys anymore, just girls," she said
In the latest twist in the case, Schwartz named Robert Voccola, 68, the chief investment officer at white-glove Park Avenue firm Barrett Associates, and described how she traded weekly sex romps in exchange for $50,000 a year until she was arrested a month ago.
"We have sex once or twice a week over the past year and a half. He's given me about $50,000 a year in cash, mortgage payments, and checks and other things," she told police after being arrested - statements which were entered into public record at her bail hearing yesterday.
"He also gave me a credit card and financial advice, telling me where to invest, helping me with my mortgage," she said.

These sorts of stories, where the rich and famous, are not punished, makes it more troubling.
"Outside his home, the accused john looked sheepish and was ushered inside by his angry wife, Judith, before he could comment.
"We know what she's saying, and we'll comment later," she said through the family attorney. "You'll get a statement when the statement is ready. It will not be today." "
I tend to agree, but I think someone will be punished. Just not in a court of law.
But then I am used to some people being above the law....I live in Cynthia McKinney's district.
As Rush says, vote with your feet......move to where it's legalized.
Then when you get there, the LIBERALtarian in you can help usher in legalized drugs, same sex marriage, abortion clinics on every corner, universal health care, and all the other pet projects of the left.
You left out murder. Certainly if I believe prostitution laws are against my concept of freedom and they are not uniformally enforced, then I want murder to be legal too.
Conservative doesn't mean being a prig. It means not wanting the Government where it is not the Government's business to be. Especially if the Government punishes some and ignores others for the same offense.
I once had to debate the issue in college and I became convinced of my own side that many of the laws are unconscionable.
A desire for sex is not like gambling. It's biological.
Where Americans are to pursue happiness, what of the ugly for one example.
If someone is so ugly that there is no way for them to get a member of the opposite sex socially, is it really the right of the Government to prevent that person from getting it the only way he/she can- by paying a willing participant.
I can go with regulation but a blanket prohibition, stings and all else the Government does to intrude in an area the Government has no business is just so wrong.
And that should be a Conservative position.
The morals don't bother me but there are some real public health issues to consider. I doubt our present laws do much about that, though.
What should be the ideological lines?
I'm a Conservative for lesser Government.
How is allowing the Government to prohibit either prostitution of gambling a Conservative position?
With gambling, Government is a hypocrite. It's legal in certain places but becomes immoral and illegal elsewhere. Lotto is Ok, other forms are not.
Ok, Mr. Not-a-Prig, ask the gals in Nevada if legalizing prostitution has decreased or increased government intervention in their profession.
But, the reason it's against the law, liberaltarian, is because the Judea Christian beliefs that this country was founded on want to discourage the practice all together.
Your response makes no sense.
Out of curiosity, where in either the Old or New Testament is a there prohibition against prostitution. Heroes of both are depicted as prostitutes.
The practice will be discouraged when DNA loses that which makes human beings desire sex.
Put the joint out and take a few deep breaths of oxygen.

As we both know, the Bible is very flexible on a number of subjects. I am not a theologian and cannot quote Scripture, but I'm sure there's a passage that condemns prostitution. You must admit, if the Bible were pro-prostitution, there would be a whore house at the Vatican.

See if this makes any sense.
I guess we need to better define the term ideology. I personally don't fit well into any of the more acceptable classifications. My problem is I mix my own common sense into my conservatism and we all have different ideas as to common sense. In the case in point I was merely suggesting that 'most' conservatives appear to be against both legalizing prostitution as well as gambling, hence the linkage and I do think there is ample room for disagreement on these and other issues within the various schools of thought or ideologies of the conservative movement.
In Austin, I caught a snippet of a radio discussion about taxing prostitution but they couldn't figure out how to tax it yet keep it illegal. They figured if it was made legal, there would still be a "black market" of prostitutes who don't want the paperwork, nor the paper trail involved - not to mention the men who don't want a receipt.
