Baltimore Sun/ APWoman accused of running high-end ring files suit while facing criminal charges

WASHINGTON - When questioned about his links to a Washington escort service, Sen. David Vitter has chosen his words carefully. He apologized for a "very serious sin in my past" but said the details were best left between God and his family.
Now, the woman accused of running a high-end prostitution ring wants the Louisiana Republican to dish the salacious details in court.
A lawyer for indicted escort Deborah Palfrey has subpoenaed the first-term senator to testify at a hearing this month. Attorney Montgomery Blair Sibley said he'll ask Vitter pointedly, "As a client, did you engage in illegal sex acts?"
In a city where the preferred method of apologizing is a prepared statement and where follow-up questions are often ducked, Sibley is promising to force some answers.
