New York, Jan. 30 : A woman who ran former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer''s favorite call-girl ring, has been sentenced to six months in prison by Manhattan Federal Judge Barbara Jones.

Jones rejected prosecutors'' recommendation of a 21-to-27 month sentence for Cecil (Katie) Suwal, citing the Svengali-like power Emperors Club VIP boss Mark Brener once had over the 24-year-old.

According to the New York Daily News, Alberto Ebanks drove home the point by noting she has an out-of-the-way tattoo on her body that reads "Property of Mark Brener."

"She became his paramour, his companion and ultimately his assistant," Ebanks said.

Suwal, clad in a black and white pantsuit, her dark hair wrapped in a matching bow, needed more than a minute to compose herself before tearfully apologizing for her crimes. (ANI)
