This is an account that exposes a hidden world that many have preconceived notions about. There is always another side to the story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe story begins in early 1993, with the discovery of blocks on escort service telephone lines in Orlando area resort PBX systems during large convention bookings. The blocks began in the late 1980s and were not isolated to the Orlando area, but were also in operation in Las Vegas. The blocks have evolved in form, but still exist today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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 and acquittal by the jury in 2003. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a Second Edition and includes various updates throughout.
