Manhattan madam released from jail on time served

By The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — A suburban New York mother of four who pleaded guilty to promoting prostitution has been released from jail following a sentence of time served.

Anna Gristina got six months in jail on Tuesday and five years of probation.

Her lawyers said Gristina lived on a 12-acre property in Monroe, about 50 miles north of New York City, and rescued animals and helped abandoned pet pigs find new homes.

Prosecutors said the 45-year-old Gristina boasted of having a roster of wealthy, well-placed clients and boasted of law-enforcement connections during 15 years in a business that made her millions. After an investigation, it became clear she was simply running a brothel and profiting from it.
