CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Sallie Saxon, the "South Park Madame," was released Tuesday from prison after completing her two-year federal prison sentence.
The 60-year-old woman and her husband, Donald, were sentenced back in 2008 for running a high-end prostitution ring out of hotels in SouthPark and uptown Charlotte.
Saxon's enterprise was known as "Hush Hush" and claimed to offer non-sexual companionship on its website for fees in excess of $700.
According to prosecutors, Saxon made as much as $3 million.
Clients would pay up to a thousand dollars or more for the escorts.
Several well known local men were implicated including Skipper Beck of Charlotte who died last year in a plane crash and Gastonia businessman Thomas Cloninger.
Donald Saxon is due to be released sometime next month.
