David Vitter: I've Committed 'Serious Sins'
NEW ORLEANS — Republican Sen. David Vitter again acknowledged unspecified "serious sins" during a candidates forum Wednesday night but offered no new information on the prostitution scandal that broke in 2007 when he was linked to a Washington call girl ring run by the "D.C. Madam."
Vitter made his remarks in answer to the first question in a televised forum of the six candidates vying for his Senate seat. Candidates were asked about the importance of family values, and Vitter said the scandal led him to redouble his commitment to live up to those values.
"Obviously, I've stumbled in my marriage. Obviously I've committed serious sins, which I've talked about in the past," Vitter said.
In July 2007, Vitter was linked by phone records to a Washington, D.C. escort service run by Deborah Jeane Palfrey, who committed suicide in 2008 after being convicted of running a prostitution ring.
