The man who ran an escort business at the heart of the scandal that helped bring down former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer was sentenced Friday to 2 1/2 years in prison.
Mark Brener, 63, pleaded guilty last year to conspiracy to commit a prostitution offense and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
"I want to apologize to this court, my family and anyone else I have hurt as a result of my actions," Brener said at the hearing. "I am sorry."
The U.S. attorney's office had asked the court for a maximum of 2 1/2 years for Brener, arguing that he deserved "substantial punishment" for his role in the business.
