Eliot Spitzer paid more than $4,000 for prostitutes' services is Dupre.

MIAMI (AP) - The call girl linked to former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is suing the founder of the "Girls Gone Wild" video series for more than $10 million.

Ashley Alexandra Dupre filed a lawsuit Monday in Miami federal court claiming she never gave "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis permission to use her name and likeness to advertise the videos.

Dupre contends she was 17 and not old enough to sign a contract when the videos were taken in 2003 in Miami Beach.

A spokesman for Francis didn't immediately return a call for comment Monday.

The now 22-year-old Dupre was identified in March as a prostitute named "Kristen" who had been involved with Spitzer. He has since resigned.

Now all of a sudden it dawns on her that she wasn't old enough to consent back in 2003? Crap, she knew what she was doing and this lawsuit is her meal ticket. Judge needs to throw this case out for no merits.

Here's an original idea. Sue somebody and skip the working part of your life. That's a part of the "New American Dream".
