Kristin Davis, a former madam running against former Gov. Eliot Spitzer in the race for New York City comptroller, peddled hundreds of powerful painkillers and other prescription pills in exchange for Ecstasy and cash from a drug dealer wearing a wire, federal authorities said Tuesday, August 6, 2013.
Prosecutors made the accusation against Davis while announcing her arrest on charges of distributing and possessing a controlled substance.
The 38-year-old Davis had previously admitted to providing former Gov. Elliot Spitzer with prostitutes, a claim he denies. She served four months in jail for promoting prostitution.
