The naval lieutenant used the alias Renee during her six months of sex work for the service. She was one of 12 former prostitutes to testify this week. "It was getting hard for me to keep doing it … I didn't like it," she told the jury yesterday.

Burton later produced an email the officer sent Palfrey six months after quitting the service, asking the madam if she still needed help. "I needed the money," she explained ruefully.

She has since been placed on leave by the military. Like the other former call girls who testified, and like Dupre in the Spitzer case, the naval officer was granted legal immunity in exchange for her testimony. But the former prostitutes are required to use their real names in court -- relaying intimate details such as Palfrey's insistence that they have sex during menstruation.

The escort service's famous clients, meanwhile, are likely to avoid public testimony.

Such BS....why aren't they made to endure the public shaming like all the women are??

No better reason than to humiliate them. Equally there's no reason for graphic description of the sex acts which is equally as bad for the females. All gloss from any sex act is lost in a courtroom of leering males.

I'm guessing than it's part of the deal for not being prosecuted themselves that they must proceed with their own humiliation whereas the dicks can even get away with declining to appear at all. So not all are equal before the law or sex workers at least.
