“I was drawn to escorting in large part because it provided many coping mechanisms for me when I was going through a very challenging

“time with my marriage and my life. It provided an escape from a life that I was struggling in. It was a double life.

“I do not expect people to understand, but the reasons for doing this made sense to me at the time and were very much related to depression.

“As crazy as I know it seems, I never thought I would be exposed, therefore never hurting anybody.

“I cannot emphasize enough how sorry I am to anyone I have hurt as a result of my actions and greatly appreciate the support from family

“and those closest to me. I fully intend to make amends and get back to being a good mother, wife, daughter, and friend.
