Meet Spitzer's 'Kristen' on MySpace
It's probably a safe bet that you won't find Eliot Spitzer listed among "Kristen's" friends on MySpace, even though the alleged prostitute in the sex scandal seems to have quite a few.
But thanks to the magic of social networking, we get a fairly intimate look at one of the players in a sex scandal that brought down the governor of New York.
Two days ago, we learned that Spitzer--the politician who made his reputation as being tough on crime--had been implicated in a prostitution scandal. We got to see Silda Wall Spitzer stand by her man--AKA "Client 9"--while he apologized for "acting in a way that violates my obligations to my family and violates my, or any, sense of right and wrong." Then Wednesday we saw him resign from the governor's office.
The only thing we haven't seen--until now--is "Kristen," the woman who allegedly played the role of prostitute at a Washington, D.C., hotel with Spitzer last month in this mini-drama. Thanks to her MySpace page, we have a chance to meet "Kristen," a 22-year-old aspiring musician whose real name was revealed by the New York Times as Ashley Alexandra Dupre.
Her page features several photos of Dupre, who seems to be a very popular woman, with more than 1,800 MySpace "friends." According to her profile, she "learned what it was like to have everything, and lose it, again and again."
Steven Musil is the night news editor at CNET News. Before joining CNET News in 2000, Steven spent 10 years at various Bay Area newspapers. E-mail Steven. 
I dont know if Client #9 victimized "Kristen", but media right out the bat went all the way to drag her picture and myspace profile and who knows what else is comming her way. I feel sorry for this young woman, her only sin was being greedy about easy money.
For all the accomplishments of Spitzer he would go to infamy (unfortunately), because he paid for sex. Even though his committed crime was akin money laundering, which he should be punished for.
everything, and lose it, again and again.'"
Well, to be a hooker worth tens of thousands a day, she probably
also learned how to *$%)@ her client's +_^> while %&~ing her =[}\.
And that takes a lot of skill.
Your politics came back to bite you in the ass.
Denied privacy to citizens but forgot you are one? No more privacy even for the higher-ups. Now this is justice. LOL!
