Police say a woman they believe to be convicted Washington escort service operator Deborah Jeane Palfrey has committed suicide.

Police in Tarpon Springs, Florida say the body was found in a shed near Palfrey's mother's home Thursday morning. There was a suicide note, but police did not disclose its contents.

A federal jury convicted Palfrey April 15 of running a prostitution service that catered to members of Washington's political elite.

Palfrey repeatedly denied the escort service engaged in prostitution, saying that if any of the women engaged in sex acts for money, they did so without her knowledge.

Palfrey caused a sensation last year when she announced that to raise money for her defense, she intended to sell her phone records to any news outlet willing to pay.

Palfrey said her defunct business was "a legal, high-end erotic-fantasy service."

She was convicted on all counts she faced: money laundering, using the mail for illegal purposes, and racketeering.

Three of Palfrey's clients testified during the weeklong trial, explaining how they found the service, how often they called, what they were hoping for, and whether they got it during their visits.

"When a man agrees to pay $250 for 90 minutes with a woman, what do most men expect in that time?" prosecutor Daniel Butler said during closing arguments Monday. "In that context, it's pretty clear. Most men want sex."

There's a tremendous loss for mankind.

What will Ashley Dupre do with her life now?

It's not just the food and gas prices that are strangling the economy.

Many people invite tragedy. She flaunted both legal and moral law. Did she anticipate the legal and moral effect upon her liberty and conscience? If she did, what did she do to mitigate those effects? Until now, apparently, nothing.

I for one don't get the whole hooker thing. There are zillions of woen out there williing to have sport sex.

Yeah, but how many women?

I agree. Unless you look like a troll, why would any man have to pay more than the cost of a dinner to satisfy his amorous needs? Some women are better at lovemaking than other women, but ceertainly not that better.

I take it then that you never met Monique Pasqualiechio?

I hope the names have been changed to protect the guilty.

L just heard that Larry Craig is going to claim he was X'd off the list.

Why. To show he only solicits female prostitutes and not gays in johns?

No, but I met Marlene Marcello.

it could have been neri that did it, after all she worked in fredo's place didn't she????

Neri was in on it, but no one has talked about the grassy knoll near her mother's home. And it is a known fact that the U.S. Government has not issued a press release denying CIA involvement in this "suicide."
