The $5,000-a-night Russian who accused Eliot Spitzer of choking her in a hotel room broke down in court as she was charged with trying to extort him for $400,000.
Model and escort Svetlana, 25, covered her face and cried as she was arraigned on charges of grand larceny by extortion in Manhattan Criminal Court.
Prosecutors said she 'consistently threatened to expose intimate details of prior relationships with [Spitzer's] to the family as well as the media'.
She told detectives that Spitzer, 57, had assaulted her during a heated row in a $1,000 suite at The Plaza Hotel after she revealed plans to return to Moscow.
The escort and model then went back to her native Russia, hindering the police investigation into the alleged attack.
She also was charged with forgery in an unrelated case. [dailymail.com].
