Davis, 32, pleaded not guilty to money laundering and promoting prostitution in Manhattan Supreme Court yesterday and was held on $2-million bail. She faces 15 years in prison if convicted of running the ring, which also allegedly operated the Madison La A'mour and New York Body Miracle agencies.
"She personally interfaced with [New York State Governor Elliot] Spitzer a number of times" since 2003 before she became a madam, a source close to Davis said.
Davis' alleged multimillion-dollar empire was smashed by city vice cops as she made plans to skip town. Prosecutors say she netted some $2 million last year and went for as much as $1,000 an hour.
