December 11, 2009 Attorney: Tiger Woods Could Face Prostitution Charges If He Paid For Sex in New York

Tiger Woods spent upwards of $60,000 for high-priced escorts from former madam Michelle Braun, the New York Post reported Friday. Braun told the paper that between 2006 and 2007, Woods paid for at least four dates with escorts from her roster. For one “pillow-lipped” Manhattan model named Loredana, the married billionaire paid $15,000 for a single "date," Braun said.

If Braun's allegations are true, the golf-great could be in serious legal trouble, New York City-based attorney Tom Kenniff tells FoxNews.com “He could be charged with patronizing a prostitute, a misdemeanor in New York,” Kennif said. “Depending on the statute of limitations, if there are witnesses swearing out statements, and there is a money trail that can be corroborated, it’s a reasonable likelihood” that Woods could be charged.

SLIDESHOW: The Women Tied to Tiger Woods If convicted, Woods could face up to a year in jail, Kennif said.

The state of New York is looking for anyway to take money out of your pocket. Last one out of the state turn off the lights.

Geeze. I mean a billionaire buying $15,000 hookers just isn’t a crime worth worrying about IMHO. Hos are gonna ho, and if they are doing it at the Four Seasons it’s not really in anybodys face. Sure it’s gross, but still. NYC is full of mobbed up businesses, street gangs, extortion rackets, and the Wall Street Mob. <p

Tiger, run for Public Office and no attorney general will consider prosecuting you.

Maybe Spitzer should go to jail first.

Oh please!

This stupid lawyer wanted some camera time. Who exactly is going to swear out an affidavit?

When the cops bust 'rub-n-tug' joints down in Chinatown, they only arrest the girls. They let the Johns walk right out.

There isn't much of a future for an ADA who prosecutes prostitute patronizing. Yeah, I used alliteration. So what?

They almost NEVER prosecute the johns in these cases - usually not the hookers either, just the madams. And, if NY state is going to take a pass on Spitzer, and the other clients of the service he patronized, then they aren't going to go after Tiger.

I was all for the police investigating him for his probable DUI, but this would be an obscene waste of resources.

Oh, and adultery is still on the books in the NYS penal law. Is he gonna be brought up on those charges as well? Stupid lawyer.

He’s a rich black man.

Even if evidence surfaces, he’ll get off scot free.

"$15K per? Makes Spitzer look like a piker..."

I've seen some of the women Tiger's been alleged to have frequented, and I've seen Spitzer's tramp. I'd say Spitzer's just a better negotiator than Tiger, because his was a whole lot nicer than anything Tiger bagged.

Look. I am starting to think that if this guy was this overt and public with at least thirteen women besides his wife, HOW COULD SHE NOT HAVE KNOWN?!?!

I would think his wild ways were “part of the deal”. I am beginning to doubt anyone will see any real complaint or threat of estrangement from Elin.

Maybe they got into a fight on Thanksgiving and she decided to go after one his ho’s, he stormed out drunk and hit the tree. Everything else started turning up and now it's all public.

I don't know and I don't want to impugn Elin because she is very very hot. However, it all just looks fishy and I doubt she had no idea that anything was going on.

Sounds like he could be at least a Senator. If he cheated on his taxes, he could be Cabinet material...

We have a new celebrity freak show as a replacement to the canceled Micheal Jackson freak show.
