WASHINGTON, July 6 (UPI) -- A federal judge in Washington has given so-called D.C. madam Deborah Palfrey permission to release the names and phone numbers of her elite clientele.
U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler vacated two previous orders Friday barring Palfrey from selling or distributing phone records for the escort service she founded in 1993, thesmokinggun.com reported.
Kessler issued the orders after Palfrey gave ABC News four years worth of phone logs for her escort service which the network used for a report on "20/20" last May.
In taking the action, Kessler rejected arguments by the prosecution that potential witnesses for Palfrey's trial might be harassed if the phone records are made public.
The judge ruled that the records are Palfrey's property and said she wasn't going to take the "extraordinary step of freezing the personal property of an individual, not yet convicted of any crime and barring her from giving away that property"
