The first photos of the high priced call girl who is responsible for the biggest scandal in Secret Service history have surfaced online.
According to the NY Post, the 30-year-old single mom, who has not been identified by name, said an unidentified SS agent stiffed her on a pre-arranged fee of $800.
During the interview at her home in Colombia, the nervous woman bristled at news reports that she was a common prostitute or streetwalker.
In an exclusive interview with the NY Post, she described herself as a high-priced escort, not a prostitute.
“You have higher rank,” she said. “An escort is someone who a man can take out to dinner. She can dress nicely, wear nice makeup, speak and act like a lady. That’s me.”
“It’s the same, but it’s different,” she told the Post. “It’s like when you buy a fine rum or a BlackBerry or an iPhone. They have a different price.”
She said she didn’t want to get the agent who she slept with into any trouble, and that she feared for her life. “This is something really big,” she said. “This is the government of the United States. I have nervous attacks. I cry all the time.”
She said she was never aware that the men worked for Obama. “They never told me they were with Obama,” she told the NY Post. “They were very discreet.”
The agents arrived in Cartagena, Colombia on Wednesday, 2 days ahead of President Obama, who was attending a Latin summit there.
After checking into the 5 star Hotel Caribe, the agents immediately booked a banquet hall for a party, according to published reports. The agents told hotel management they were expecting at least 30 people to attend.
Their next destination was a strip club near the hotel, where they drank expensive whiskey and were serviced by high priced strippers. The group, which included 5 green berets and other military personnel, brought at least 20 prostitutes and escorts back to their hotel early Thursday.
After spending the night with one of the agents, the woman said she received a 6:30am wake up call from the front desk, reminding her that, per hotel rules, she had to leave the hotel by 7:30am.
As she got dressed, she said she reminded the agent that he owed her $800 for sexual intercourse, but the agent told her he was drunk and couldn’t remember agreeing to that figure.
“I tell him, ‘Baby, my cash money,’ ” the woman said.
But the agent offered her only 50,000 pesos, the equivalent of about $30. Insulted by the low figure, the woman argued with the agent, who called her an expletive and ordered her out of his room, she said.
Other agents emerged from their rooms and tried to calm the woman down. They told her they didn’t want any trouble. A Colombian police officer became involved, as well as another prostitute who had slept with another agent.
To keep the peace, the agents compromised with the hookers. They gave her what they had: $225 in American and Colombian currency.
Even though the disagreement was resolved, the police alerted the U.S. embassy who contacted the state department.
11 Secret Service agents were relieved of their duties on Thursday and ordered back to the U.S. The moment their feet touched U.S. soil in Miami, the agents were each handed a letter notifying them that they were stripped of their top secret clearances and suspended.
3 Secret Service agents have now been fired as a result of the scandal. More firings, and suspensions, are expected.
