Woman: Spitzer Hooker Stole My Identity

JULY 17--A New Jersey woman claims that Ashley Dupre, Eliot Spitzer's favorite hooker, improperly assumed her identity--and flashed her stolen driver's license--to convince "Girls Gone Wild" employees that she was old enough to be filmed naked. In a federal lawsuit, Amber Arpaio, 26, alleges that Dupre somehow obtained her driver's license and displayed it in March 2003 as she was filmed topless for the cameras.

As seen on a "Girls Gone Wild" video, Dupre, 17 at the time, claims to be Amber Arpaio and, as proof, shows a New Jersey license carrying that name and an August 1981 birthdate (which would have made her 21 at the time of the "Girls Gone Wild" filming in Miami Beach). 

In her lawsuit, an excerpt of which you'll find here, Arpaio contends that Dupre's use of her license has now linked her name to the Spitzer scandal and Dupre's naked cavorting and career as a prostitute. A screen grab from the "Girls Gone Wild" video starring Dupre--which can be seen here--shows a close-up shot of Arpaio's license, which carries a Stillwater, N.J. P.O. box as her address. Arpaio's name is slightly obscured by a watermark and glare from the camera's light.

Arpaio's lawyer, Robert Dunn, told TSG that his client, who works in a dental office, does not know Dupre and that she lost her license several years ago while visiting the Jersey Shore (a favored Dupre haunt, by the way). Dunn said his client identified her stolen driver's license when it was shown in a "Girls Gone Wild" video as proof that Dupre was of age to pose nude.

Along with suing Dupre, Arpaio has named "Girls Gone Wild" boss Joe Francis and his company, Mantra Films, as defendants in her U.S. District Court complaint. (8 pages)
