NY Governor apologizes for involvement in prostitution ring

In the US. New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has apologized after he was accused of involvement in a prostitution ring.

Identified in legal papers as Client 9, Spitzer met last month with at least one woman in a Washington hotel.

His alleged involvement was caught on a federal wiretap as part of an investigation opened in recent months.

He is expected to testify to the state Public Integrity Commission to answer for his role in the scandal.

The prostitution ring in question has been identified in court papers as the Emperors Club VIP.

It arranged connections between wealthy men and more than 50 prostitutes in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, London and Paris.
