Product Description
The world of high-end, high-priced prostitution has been in the news lately because of former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's scandal involving an exclusive escort service. From expensive New York penthouses to Nevada's legal brothels to the tough streets outside Philadelphia and Reno, Sawyer speaks candidly with America's ''working girls.'' Who are these women, what drives them to sell sex and what is like to work as prostitute? In this two-hour special Sawyer also speaks with experts, including New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, to examine the state of prostitution today. The report captures the realities of who these women are and how the law deals with them, compared to their male clientele.
