CARTAGENA, COLOMBIA - The Daily News published the first photos of the Colombian call girl whose encounter with a cheapskate Secret Service agent set off the agency’s worst sex scandal.

Dania Suarez, the 24-year-old single mom of a 9-year-old son, has gone into hiding as the scandal mushrooms, according to neighbors.

Suarez, originally from the island of San Andres, is a quiet tenant who rents a small apartment in a hacienda-style home for about $600 a month, neighbors said.

“She never told us what she did for a living but it was obvious,” said Maria Quintero, 31, who lives on the first floor of the three story white building.

I'm not surprised honestly. Its pretty par for these women...


Although if she's 24 now and her son is 9 years old, she would have been pregnant at 14 years old

She would have been 15 when her son was born. Also $800.00 seems reasonable to me. She is really sharp. Get used to the idea of more American girls being forced into this life when the social safety net is dismantled and more girls get less birth control assistance.

who knows how to disguise the fake quality strategically. If it's a boob job like the ones done in Venezuela it may be toxic, there were hundreds of thousands of those done in Venezuela.

My Columbian friend said that majority of women in Columbia get boob jobs. Her sister even got one at 16 years old as a birthday present. Boob jobs in Columbia is like plastic surgery in Korea --- pretty routine.

Below is a reader comment from a NY Times article, regarding escort prices. Make of it what you will.

RC Pompano Beach FL

“the woman described how she and a girlfriend were approached by a group of American men at a discotheque.”

“Eventually, she lowered her demand to $250, which she said was the amount she has to pay the man who helps find her customers.”

But “the man” who helps her find customers, didn’t find *these* customers.

Maybe the man is similar to a sports agent, or a booking agent… and they have a contract en force. Maybe he’s a corporate recruiter. Possibly he’s just a guy who helps her out once in a while… and as a result she feels beholden to him. Who knows. Maybe he doesn’t even exist.

There’s a slight possibility that if he does exist, he could be her pimp.

I forwarded this article to a Columbian friend, asking him what he thinks. He said that she’s lying about the $750-$800 dollars “agreed upon” fee, and was trying to extort the drunken fool in the morning after. That in Cartagena, a high priced and high-end professional *escort* can be had for $150... or less. And that $300-$400 dollars for an evening would be considered to be a huge ‘home-run’ for the working girl. A lot of money. He said that it’s a common ploy for the ‘workers’ to extort $$$ from la touristas.

Anyway, sometimes in the realm of international relations and international intercourse… situations can arise. Money, and some give and take, often engenders détente between the two parties… resulting in a satisfying result for all concerned.
