A Navy officer testified in federal court in Washington yesterday that she moonlighted as a call girl for Deborah Jeane Palfrey's escort service for six months, starting in 2005, when the military says she was assigned to the Naval Academy as a supply officer ...

Lt. Cmdr. ..., who was placed on leave by the Navy "pending further administrative action," told a jury in U.S. District Court that she used the name "Renee" while having sex for money with male clients of Palfrey's now-defunct firm, Pamela Martin & Associates ...

Three former clients of the escort service also have testified ...

7. Points for the reference.
Seriously, though, I wonder if any of her clients knew. Some men get a kick out of a woman in uniform.

13. Got another way she could have made the money?
She didn't steal from her country. She didn't take bribes or kickbacks (because nobody is accusing her of that). She was a supply officer. There's lots of money to be made being dishonest with supplies to our soldiers. But that isn't how she made her money.

You guys go and jeer. As long as she did her day job honestly and fairly, I have no quarrel with her.

But I may have a few about military salaries.

24. Oh, she "supplied", all right! Seriously, you make THE point, IMO, for the entire "sex industry".
Because sex with strangers for pay is SOOOOO much more inviting than a legit job for the same money.
Some would purport.

27. The trial is of interest, and I removed her name before posting because
I don't think she's the story

Nevertheless, I consider there to be a valid security reason not to want members of the military involved in prostitution, either as providers or clients

16. Gives new meaning to being a "Supply Officer"
Do you have to fill out a purchase order?

17. Why would she be a prostitute?
As an O-4 and that many years in she was making at least $60,000+ a year. Now she'll probably lose all her retirement benefits too.

22. Maybe it was for the thrill. Maybe she didn't have time to date.
Maybe she's just a head case.

It does, however, undercut the idea that all prostitutes are poor, desperate people being exploited. May be true for some, but...

26. $60,000 in DC? That's lunch money..
She eventually filed bankruptcy. She even asked to return to work after she'd quit.

Then there's the 53 yr old PhD that also worked for Palfrey.

20. When I was in the Navy, it was okay for sailors to partake with prostitutes. Hell
they even gave us free condoms!
