Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow won her first election in 2000, defeating a Republican incumbent by .2% of the vote. Now, she faces the biggest threat to her career: her ne'er-do-well husband of five years.
21-year-old prostitute Alycia Martin of Michigan was visited by Thomas Athans, i.e. the Senator's hubby, at a Residence Inn back on February 26 and paid her $150 for sex of some undisclosed variety. On Thursday, Martin
pled guilty... to a lesser charge of trespassing in the case.
Alycia Martin, 21, of Westland pled guilty under an agreement under which she will be considered for the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act. The act allows young offenders to clear their criminal record if they successfully complete their term of probation.
We hope she gets her life together and doesn't become a national joke or a self-parody, much as Ashley Alexandra Dupre has already become. Meanwhile, Senator Stabenow has so far managed to escape unscathed in this ongoing scandal... thank God.
