Davis became embroiled in controversy after he was arrested in the act with a prostitute whom former New York Governor Spitzer had introduced to him.
She told The Washington Post in 2013 that she met then-Attorney General Spitzer in 2005 when he became a customer in her prostitution business.
She was arrested in March 2008 and served four months in Rikers Island before being released on bail and pleading guilty to one count of promoting prostitution. Davis was placed on probation in that case.

In October 2014, she was sentenced to two years in prison for selling prescription drugs.
Davis told RadarOnline that his past “choices should not diminish my intelligence or the value of my current work.”
“I’ve worked behind the scenes in politics for the last 15 years and have encountered my fair share of con artists and charlatans along the way. Bobby Kennedy is the real deal,” she wrote on Instagram late Wednesday.
“His integrity and unwavering determination to take on big pharma and big tech companies is unmatched.”

“If Trump really wants to win, I recommend he make a deal with Bobby, the Secretary of Health and Human Services,” she says. I have written.
In the comments section of her post, the former madam responded to a Trump supporter who said she would “support” Kennedy serving as Health and Human Services secretary, reiterating her support for RFK Jr. and Trump’s “alliance.”
“If Trump wants to win, he needs to build allies, and who better to lead HHS than Bobby?” Davis responded.
