Secret Service Scandal: Escort Says Agent Refused to Pay Full Price

The Colombian prostitute tells New York Times she is fearful

In the midst of an ongoing Secret Service sex scandal, the New York Times spoke with one Colombian high-end escort who claims she was offered $30 for a night with one of the men.

The 24-year-old high-end escort, who chose to remain anonymous, said she met an agent at a discothèque in Cartagena. The two agreed that the agent would pay her $800 for sex at a hotel.

“I tell him, 'Baby, my cash money,'" she recalled in an interview with The New York Times, recounting the exchange.

The next morning, the two got into a heated argument over payment. The agent wanted to pay her $30 for services she thought they had agreed were worth $800. Eventually Columbian law enforcement got involved, arguing on the woman’s behalf. She said she was eventually paid about $225.

On Wednesday, news broke that three Secret Service agents were leaving the service amid investigation into the scandal that has tarnished the reputation of those who protect the President, with some now under investigation for possible drug use, ABC News reports.

About 11 Secret Service agents are under investigation for alleged partying and paying for prostitution while preparing for President Obama’s arrival at an international summit meeting in Cartagena.

The woman is the first to give a public comment on the matter.

“They never told me they were with Obama,” she said, calling the men 'very discreet.'

Days after the encounter with the agent, she said a friend told her the argument had made the news, and to her shock, she discovered the man was a Secret Service agent.

"I'm scared," she said, adding that she did not want the man in question to be reprimanded, and fears retaliation, the Times reports.

"This is something really big," she added. "This is the government of the United States. I have nervous attacks. I cry all the time."

The employees under scrutiny have been asked to take lie detector tests; only one has agreed to do so, an official said. The names of the three agents ousted were not reported.
