"One of the country's top federal judges has been linked to an investigation of a Denver-based prostitution ring, according to federal officials.

Edward Nottingham, the chief federal judge in Denver, Colo., was "implicated as a customer" in an ongoing IRS and Denver police investigation of an alleged prostitution operation called Denver Sugar/Denver Players, according to officials.

The service advertised on the Internet as having "gorgeous adult Colorado companions."

According to a Denver television station, KUSA, Judge Nottingham's nickname among the prostitutes was "Naughty."

Several "professional athletes," lawyers and businessmen are also involved, officials said.

Unlike the prostitution investigation in New York that led to this week's resignation of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, the Denver case has received little attention outside Colorado."

I am shocked they made it past the mid point of the first page before they mentioned this.

According to published reports, Judge Nottingham, appointed to the federal bench in 1989 by President George H.W. Bush

I figured you would make it the headline.

Kind of makes you wonder if a Governor of New York is more newsworthy than a judge in cowtown. Could that be possible?
