Memoirs of an Accused Madam: The War on Adult Business in Orlando

In 1992, Vicky Gallas opened escort services in Orlando, Florida. Two years later she became the focus of an intense criminal investigation that resulted in her arrest in late 2001, and subsequent jury trial. With her fighting spirit and her unwillingness to buckle under an unrelenting pattern of intimidation, the author became the only owner of an escort service in the United States brought to trial on organized crime charges and found innocent. Through the use of her extensive journals, documents from court cases, conversations with individuals who shared their own experiences, and recollections from years of intimidation, fear, and harassment, Gallas has written an unparalleled account, Memoirs of an Accused Madam: The War on Adult Business in Orlando. In this hard-hitting memoir, she reveals how racketeering and organized crime charges were brought against her based on proof so flimsy that agents and prosecutors could not get a wiretap or a warrant to search. Nevertheless, the legal system persevered and the case was brought to trial. In this shocking story, we learn about the self-proclaimed moral authority, too many of whom partake of the very services they publicly lambast. For anyone fascinated with the foibles of our criminal justice system, the sensational Orlando connection, and how escort services really work, this is a must-read book.
