WASHINGTON -- Deborah Jeane Palfrey ran her high-end sexual fantasy business in a way carefully designed to keep the feds at bay.

In quintessential Washington style, the District of Columbia Madam solicited male clients who paid up to $300 an hour and hired some 130 subcontractors -- women as young as 23 and as old as 55 -- under detailed employment agreements that required them to perform only lawful acts.

For 13 years, that worked, then a grand jury indicted her for racketeering.

Now, rather than keep her clients secret, she has decided to unmask them -- in the name of her legal defense. And she has elicited the help of ABC News to do it, turning over 46 pounds of phone records, a stack about 1 foot high, with "thousands and thousands" of clients that, Palfrey promises, reach "high into the echelons of power in the United States."

Palfrey, 50, hopes the maneuver will produce witnesses for her legal defense, since none of her patrons have come forward voluntarily. But her strategy has led to one revelation that ended a top-level career and left official Washington with the feeling more are to come.

Randall L. Tobias, a deputy secretary of State and the Bush administration's "AIDS czar," abruptly resigned last week after acknowledging to ABC that he had used Palfrey's service, "but only to have gals come over to the condo to give me a massage."
