Pictures of Ashley Alexandra Dupre taken from her MySpace profileNEW YORK (AP) -- New details are emerging about the call girl at the center of the prostitution scandal engulfing New York's governor.
The New York Times identified her as a 22-year-old aspiring musician from Manhattan. The newspaper reports the real name of the prostitute identified as "Kristen" in court papers is Ashley Alexandra Dupre.
Authorities allege that Gov. Eliot Spitzer paid more than $4,000 for her services.
New York attorney Don Buchwald confirms that he represents Dupre, the same woman in the Times story, but that's all he'll say.
Dupre briefly spoke to the Times about the Spitzer scandal. She told the paper she doesn't "want to be thought of as a monster."
She said, "This has been a very difficult time. It's complicated."
Dupre declined to comment when asked by the Times when she first met Spitzer and how many times they had been together.
