Chicago madam sentenced to home confinement in ‘unusual’ federal case targeting West Side fetish house
Chicago madam Jessica Nesbitt is flanked by her attorneys Adam, left, and Barry Sheppard, as they answer questions after her sentencing at Dirksen U.S. Courthouse on July 18, 2023.
“It’s the world oldest profession. It’s not like she invented it,” her attorney Barry Sheppard said in asking for probation. “She tried her best to run an honest business. She didn’t cheat a soul.”Prosecutors asked for more than two years in prison, saying that by running her illegal business, Nesbitt put employees in harm’s way because they could not go to the authorities if things went bad.
“I am concerned about the sentence that’s being talked about here would create a risk of further harm to other people who aren’t before me and didn’t have a choice in the matter,” Kennelly said. The sentencing marks the end of a case that had initially been set for trial later this year — which certainly no one on her lengthy list of clients wanted to see.
