Debra Jeanne Palfrey DC Madame Found Dead..


The DC Madame who prosecuters seized everything she owned last year was found dead in a shed out sider her mothers Tarpon Springs, FLA home.
Ms. Palfrey's only defense were the phone records and appointment books that she had with the A-List of Clients that these records contained.
Her defense was that she offered clients a date, an escort, a wonderful weekend for the time that they were in town on business that did not include sex. Many men come to Washington on business and would just like to meet someone to spend time with, to do things with, with woman from the area, but not to have any strings attached. If a relationship was to develop it was off the record, and Ms Palfrey was unaware of any sexual services performed. Phone numbers were not exchanged and wives never got phone calls telling them that there husbands were having a good time while they were away on business.
A service that many men are willing to pay for. Friendships with no strings. Dates, that knew their way around a ball room, a diplomatic dinner, or a Congressional power lunch that didn't include embarrassing their employer.
The list that Ms. Palfrey possessed included the who's who in Washington, and there was much to be lost if it were ever to be released.
I don't for one minute believe that Ms. Palfrey committed suicide. Someone didn't want her to talk and they knew that she would. They shut her up, and they shut her up good.
It's too bad. The government had no proof that anyone in her company ever acted inappropriately, by selling sex. They sold their companionship, their social skills, their pedigree.
After being convicted of raquetteering and money laundering , she was looking at a 15 to 20 year sentence. She described that at as a life sentence at her age. And that she never wanted to go back. She had been staying with her mother in Florida until she could get back home. The government seized and froze all of Ms. Palfrey's accounts, and locked her out of her home.
For the last two years she has been living on the good graces of friends and family. She was hoping that some of her three decade long clients would come forward to speak on her behalf and help her but nothing. No one had the nerve to say they even knew her.

It's a sad sad day.
She was once on top of her game . She had customers that were among the most powerful men in the country. What caused her to walk into that shed next to her mothers trailer in Florida, pull out the tricycle and tie a rope around her neck and end it all?
Life from this point forward was too overwhelming?
No one really cared?
None of the feminist who should have been supporting her efforts where there?
Where were the feminist? Where were her friends when she was on top? Where where the scumbag clients whom she provided services for? Why weren't they at her trial to state that the girls did not perform sexual acts? Where were they?
Where were we?

  3. Capital Hill can be a very scary place to solicit business. I lived
    there for 35 years . These guys will do anything to protect their reputation.

  4. How come the Madams and the women are the ones that get screwed, literally and figuratively and the men go unscathed? I'd like to see her list of customers get prosecuted. How come she was the only one? If both sides are breaking the law, both sides should be punished.

  11. I kind of thought she was nuts for making her threats. Everyone knows that high power people do whatever they want wihtout repercussions and they take care of their problems one way or another. Like it had been said here, She should have just made the entire list public and went on with her life. I think there was some foul play.
