Note, sorry, though this is not technically Election news it does have election related implications. In addition as someone in NY State I am just fascinated by the story! So please just indulge me here!

The 22-year-old woman previously identified as “Kristen” and the call-girl to now resigned NY State Governor Eliot Spitzer has been revealed by the New York Times and archived by The Smoking Gun as Ashley Alexandra Dupré.

“I just don’t want to be thought of as a monster,” the woman said as she told the tiniest tidbits of her story.

Born Ashley Youmans but now known as Ashley Alexandra Dupré, she spoke softly and with good humor as she added with significant understatement: “This has been a very difficult time. It is complicated.”

She has not been charged. The lawyer appointed to represent her, Don D. Buchwald, told a magistrate judge in court on Monday that she had been subpoenaed to testify in a grand jury investigation. Asked to swear that she had accurately filled out and signed a financial affidavit, she responded affirmatively.

A person with knowledge of the Emperor’s Club operation confirmed that the woman interviewed by The New York Times was the woman identified as Kristen in the affidavit. Mr. Buchwald confirmed various details of Ms. Dupré’s background but would not discuss the contents of the affidavit.
