NYT: Gov. Spitzer tells advisers he was involved in prostitution ring
(CNN) -- The New York Times on Monday reported that Gov. Eliot Spitzer has told senior administration officials that he was involved in a prostitution ring.
The paper's Web site cited an anonymous administration official and said the New York governor was meeting meeting with his top aides and would be making a statement this afternoon.
"To say this is a shock is an understatement," said CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, who went to law school with Spitzer.
Spitzer served as New York's attorney general for eight years before being elected governor.
He grabbed headlines with a number of high-profile fraud and corruption cases. He worked as an assistant district attorney in Manhattan and worked for three New York law firms after receiving his law degree from Harvard.
The first-term Democrat been considered a rising star among his party.
Spitzer is married and has three daughters.
