I posted a woman named "Kristen" from the Emperor VIP club website earlier. Well, Smoking Gun have photos of not only the real "Kristen" who was the prostitute for Client 9 (Spitzer) but her real name. Real fast detective work.
From Smoking Gun website:
Meet "Kristen," the 22-year-old woman who brought down the governor
MARCH 12--Meet "Kristen," the high-priced hooker who trysted with Eliot "Client-9" Spitzer last month at that Washington, D.C. hotel. The 22-year-old prostitute's real name is Ashley Alexandra Dupre (though she was born Ashley Youmans), according to a New York Times report. On the following pages you'll find an assortment of photos that the young prostitute has previously uploaded to her MySpace page, which describes Kristen/Ashley as an aspiring musician who left home at 17 and has been in New York City since 2004. (7 pages)
Here are the photos from Smoking Gun.
More about Kristen/Ashley on the NY Times:
On Monday, she made a brief appearance in federal court, where a lawyer was appointed to represent her. She is expected to be a witness in the case against four people charged with operating a prostitution ring called the Emperor’s Club V.I.P.
She has not been charged. The lawyer appointed to represent her, Don D. Buchwald, told a magistrate judge in court on Monday that she had been subpoenaed to testify in a grand jury investigation. Asked to swear that she had accurately filled out and signed a financial affidavit, she responded affirmatively.
A person with knowledge of the Emperor’s Club operation confirmed that the woman interviewed by The New York Times was the woman identified as
Kristen in the affidavit. Mr. Buchwald confirmed various details of Ms. Dupré’s background but would not discuss the contents of the affidavit.
Ms. Dupré said by telephone Tuesday night that she was worried about how she would pay her rent since the man she was living with “walked out on me” after she discovered he had fathered two children. She said she was considering working at a friend’s restaurant or, once her apartment lease expires, moving back with her family in New Jersey “to relax.”
Notice that Kristen/Ashley is not charged with prostitution yet is the witness to testify against the four defendants involved on the Emperor Club prostitution ring. Wonder if Kristen/Ashley was granted immunity in exchange for testimony...

She is getting a lot more attention than the lobbyist McCain played with.
One of Spitzer's first major accomplishments was to bust a prostitution ring. Then he went after money laundering.......hmmm, you would think he would know better?
