The Viardo public relations Agency, announced Saturday they are representing a female client, who has wrongly become implicated in the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal.
        According to its latest press release, their client, whose identify wasn’t identified, ``pending legal proceedings’’ is an international swimsuit model and pre-med student who joined the Emperor’s Club under false pretense
         She has signed on with the Los Angeles based entertainment agency in order to clear her name.
         The Viardo Agency represented Sarah Kozer who starred in Fox’s ``Joe Millionaire’’ back in 2003, after it was reported the Hunker Pennsylvania native and George Mason University Journalism graduate was featured in some Fetish videos.
         When  questioned whether there were any parallels between the former reality star’s case and his swimsuit client’s predicament, Viardo responding through an email, wrote ``both were roped into something quite innocent in its core in order to make some money, while pursuing college and other careers. Neither has done anything immoral, Viardo wrote, nor engaged in any illegal acts, while both were ridiculed and persecuted in the media’’
         Viardo also wrote to say his client was never involved in any ``illegal act of exchanging sex for money’’ or any other consideration’’
     What’s most troublesome to Viardo and the reason his agency is taking on this case is that his client’s reputation as a swimsuit model may be irrevocably damaged from this scandal, ``not only as a student and model, but as a human being’’
