EX-MADAM BLASTS VANCE RECORD ON WOMEN

Cites DSK Dismissal and Marvel Scott Plea Bargain

MANHATTAN – Former Madam Kristin Davis who went to prison for providing call girls to former Governor Eliot Spitzer and now heads a non-profit organization, HOPE HOUSE, that combats sex trafficking, today slammed Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance for dismissing the charges against DSK and letting former Channel 7 Sportscaster Marvel Scott rape a 14 year old girl and plead guilty only to a reduced misdemeanor charge of “endangering the welfare of a child” avoiding any jail time.

“District Attorney Vance’s record when it comes to women is a disgrace” said Davis. “Inside Vance’s Manhattan, rich white men and celebrities walk while women, poor people, blacks and latinos are prosecuted for non-violent drug offenses in numbers disproportionate to their representation and the population.”

Vance moved to drop charges against Domenique Strauss Kahn on the basis of lack of supposed lack credibility of the victim, Diallo.

“Doesn’t Diallo have the right to have her case heard in front of jury? Shouldn’t we let a jury decide if she is credible and if she was raped?” asked Davis. “DSK has admitted to a sexual encounter but says it was consensual. Why can’t we put him on the stand to let a jury decide if it was consensual?”

"Thanks to DA Cyrus Vance, Jr., Marvell Scott solicited a pimp for a girl he knew was a minor, raped her and avoided any real penalty," said Davis, a Feminist who ran for Governor as a protest candidate last year. "This is a felony. This is a miscarriage of justice."

According to court papers, Scott paid a pimp to have sex with a 14-year old runaway. When she refused to have sex with him, her 16-year old friend, also a runaway, was in the apartment with them and convinced her to have sex with Scott. Surveillance video from Scott’s apartment confirms the entire account.

“This man knowingly bought a child prostitute.” said Davis. “I did 4 months in Riker’s Island even though all of my dealings in the sex industry involved consenting adults and I never had any connection to drugs or drug use.”

Since a Judge ended her Probation Davis founded HOPE HOUSE, a non-profit organization that reports on and combats Sex Trafficking through the use of decoys teams looking for conscripted and under-age prostitutes.

"First Cyrus Vance fails to recognize that the DSK maid Nafissatou Diallo was brutally attacked. Now, he is giving the customer of a 14-year-old being forcibly pimped out, a walk," Davis said.

"All women in New York should be outraged," said Davis. "We have a DA who is watching as men commit violent crimes against women and children and not standing up for them."
