New York: High-End Madam Provided Underage Girls for Wealthy Clients at Upper East Side Brothel
March 7th, 2012According to the article, Gristina has been doing this for, “15 or so years.” The police always know about these brothels from the start, so, why bust her now?
My guess is that the DA’s office knows where she has stashed a decent chunk of change, and they want it.

A high-end madam who boasted she used cops as security and made millions by peddling flesh — including underage girls — to rich and powerful clients has been busted after a five-year probe, prosecutors said.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office indicted petite, blond, green-eyed Anna Gristina, 44, in a corruption investigation that amassed 50 to 100 hours of audio and video recordings, some showing prostitutes doing the deed, according to court records.
“We have had at least one eyewitness account of someone that has been obviously present for a sexual encounter arranged by (Gristina) for one of her clients in which minors were involved in the encounter,” Assistant District Attorney Charles Linehan said at her Feb. 23 arraignment.
Prosecutors said they caught Gristina, a suburban mom with four children, boasting that she had collaborators in law enforcement who were willing to tip her off if investigators were closing in on her.
