Rich and powerful men have always and always will utilised the services of beautiful women in exchange for gifts and money, help up the social ladder and contacts. there is nothing remotely unusual in this, nor is there anything remotely unusual in those ladies being a degree cleverer than the men concerned and selling their story. If they choose to sleep with these ladies then they have to be prepared to risk the fact that their relationships with them will be disclosed. Good luck to the lady concerned, she has every right to tell whomsoever she pleases who she has slept with, and imho prositution is as much a legitimate career as any other and certainly not one to necessarily be looked down on.
