Jessica Nesbitt, known better by her working name “Madame Priscilla Belle”, has pled guilty to conspiracy for her work tied to her West Side business Kink Extraordinaries. Her attorneys said her 9,000 clients included people holding “positions of prestige in the community, including in law enforcement and government.”
Assistant U.S. Attorney Erika Csicsila told the judge that the conspiracy lasted from September 2010 until Jan. 11, 2017. The prosecutor said Nesbitt had multiple employees who traveled to San Diego, Miami, Las Vegas and Wisconsin to perform acts of prostitution. Nesbitt and her employees accepted more than $1 million in cash or debit, credit and gift cards, the prosecutor said. Kink Extraordinaires has been described as “the premier Dungeon of Chicago.” Its website said it offered “beautiful, psychologically sophisticated Kinksters” who “play out of a private five-floor dungeon with multiple, fully equipped themed rooms.”
Nesbitt’s sentencing hearing is set for May 3. She faces a maximum of five years in prison, but there is a disagreement among the lawyers as to how much time she should face under federal sentencing guidelines.
