Henry Vinson	“A prospective client called me from the Omni Hotel on Wisconsin Avenue. He requested an 18-year old with minimum body hair and a slender swimmer's physique. I found his request to be disconcerting for a number of reasons. First, he essentially sounded like he desired an underage boy, and second, none of the escorts working that night remotely corresponded to his desires, expect me....Congressman Barney Frank opened the door - he had given me a pseudonym over the phone.”	Henry Vinson	2015
