On February 11 and 12, a woman identified in court papers as Temeka Rachelle Lewis communicated several times with “Client-9,” who is alleged to be Governor Spitzer, to coordinate a meeting with a prostitute, “Kristen,” on February 13. These excerpts are from the Emperors Club VIP affidavit:

• LEWIS asked: “You had QAT…,” and Client-9 said: “Yup, same as in the past, no question about it.” LEWIS asked Client-9 what time he was interested in having the appointment tomorrow. Client-9 told her 9:00 p.m. or 10:00 p.m.

• Client-9 told LEWIS that he had made a reservation at the hotel, and had paid for it in his name. Client-9 said that there would be a key waiting for her, and told LEWIS that he had on account with her [that] covered the “transportation” (believed to be a reference to the cost of the trainfare for “Kristen” from New York to Washington, D.C.).

• LEWIS asked Client-9 what time he was expecting to have the appointment. Client-9 told LEWIS maybe 10:00 p.m. or so, and asked who it was. LEWIS said it was “Kristen,” and Client-9 said “great, okay, wonderful.”

• LEWIS and Client-9 discussed how to arrange for “Kristen” to get the key to her hotel room. LEWIS said that she would prefer if “Kristen” did not have to give a name. Client-9 said that he was trying to “think this through.” Client-9 repeated that his balance was “2600,” and stated that maybe he would give “her,” a reference to “Kristen,” “3600” and have a thousand on balance. LEWIS suggested making it “1500” more. Client-9 said that would make it “4100,” and said that he would look for a bank and see about it.

• During the call, Client-9 told LEWIS to tell “Kristen” to go to the hotel and go to room 871. Client-9 told LEWIS that the door would be open. Client-9 told LEWIS that there would be a key in the room, but the door would be ajar.

• Client-9 asked LEWIS to remind him what “Kristen” looked like, and LEWIS said that she was an American, petite, very pretty brunette, 5 feet 5 inches, and 105 pounds.

• LEWIS asked “Kristen” how she thought the appointment went, and “Kristen” said that she thought it went very well. LEWIS asked “Kristen” how much she collected, and “Kristen” said $4,300. “Kristen” said that she liked him, and that she did not think he was difficult. “Kristen” stated: “I don’t think he’s difficult. I mean it’s just kind of like … whatever … I’m here for a purpose. I know what my purpose is. I am not a … moron, you know what I mean.”

• LEWIS responded: “You look at it very uniquely, because … no one ever says it that way.” LEWIS continued that from what she had been told “he” (believed to be a reference to Client-9) “would ask you to do things that, like, you might not think were safe — you know — I mean that … very basic things … . “Kristen” responded: “I have a way of dealing with that … I’d be like listen dude, you really want the sex? … You know what I mean.”
