SPITZER HAS USED HOOKERS FOR 6 YEARS: SOURCES

By JEANE MACINTOSH and CHUCK BENNETT

HE'S IN FOR IT: Silda Wall Spitzer, tailed by a sheepish Gov. Spitzer, returns to their house yesterday after appearing at his side during a brief news conference.

March 11, 2008 -- Gov. Eliot Spitzer has been soliciting high-priced hookers for at least six years and possibly for more than a decade, sources tell The Post.
The revelation yesterday that the crusading governor was in fact "Client 9" named in a federal prostitution indictment did not shock insiders in the city's sex industry.
Sources tell The Post that Spitzer had frequented high-priced hookers as far back as 2002 and possibly earlier. MORE COVERAGE

Spitzer, who as attorney general lead investigations into prostitution, was among an elite group of powerbrokers and high-powered attorneys that regularly paid for dates at top escort agencies, sources said.
IRS investigators inadvertently stumbled upon Spitzer's secret life as a prostitute patron when his bank referred them to questionable wire transfers in his commercial bank account.
At the time, investigators suspected the money was going toward some kind of political purpose until they realized his payments to QAT Consulting and QAT International were actually paying for hookers from Emperors Club VIP.
Spitzer apparently also knew the mystery prostitute identified as "Kristen" in court papers very well.
He may had as many as seven previous "dates" with the $1,000 an hour girl, newsday.com reported.
Federal investigators listened on phone calls between Spitzer and Emperors Club managers and call between the managers and "Kristen" before and after a Feb 13 date in Washington D.C. RAW DATA:
* References to 'Client 9' in the Prostitution Ring Indictment
* The Entire Indictment.
* Photos of Spitzer and his family
* Photos of the Spitzer Scandal
* The Man Who Would Be Gov

Those exchanges are detailed in a federal complaint released last Thursday.
Spitzer remained holed-up in his Fifth Avenue mansion yesterday as speculation mounted that he'll resign. He's also reportedly hired a top-notch criminal defense law firm in anticipation of possible charges over his possibly illegal bank transfers.
