Confessions of a D.C. Madam

The Politics of Sex, Lies, and Blackmail

Confessions of a DC Madam (Trine Day, March 2015) is an autographical account of Henry W.
Vinson’s odyssey from the humble origins of Williamson, West Virginia to running the largest gay
escort service in Washington, DC by the time he was 26 years old.

This haunting exposé is the first book to tell the tale of sexually blackmailed politicians and
government officials in the U.S. by an individual who actually witnessed these sinister maneuverings
first-hand. Confessions of a DC Madam proves that there is a clandestine checks-and-balances system
in effect within our government—blackmail.

Vinson intricately documents his interactions with various closeted and non-closeted VIPs who
solicited the escorts he employed. Moreover, this new book details Vinson’s numerous exchanges with
a CIA asset whose specialty was sexually compromising the powerbrokers of Washington, DC, and the
trials and tribulations Vinson suffered because he was privy to information that could have produced a
seismic political scandal.

Confessions of a DC Madam details the federal government’s illicit, malicious, and relentless attack
on Vinson to ensure his silence, which included incarceration rooted in trumped-up charges and
Vinson’s story shows the reader the illegal activities the government executes to silence those who are
privy to the fact that American politicians and power brokers are compromised by their sexual
improprieties. This fascinating and shocking facet of government corruption reveals the integral role
blackmail plays in American politics and the unbelievable lengths the government perpetrates to
silence those in the know.

Henry W. Vinson is the former funeral director for W. W. Chambers Funeral Home, who also owned
and operated the largest gay escort service in Washington, DC. He lives in Cincinnati, Ohio.
