Bragging lands escort in jail
A US$2,000 an hour prostitute known as New York's "No.1 Escort" pleaded not guilty on Thursday to charges of money laundering and prostitution that stemmed from her bragging in the media about her work. Canadian Natalia McLennan, 25, sobbed uncontrollably in court after she was unable to post US$50,000 bail and was taken away in handcuffs to jail. She faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
