A judge has sprung alleged Manhattan madam Kristen Davis from jail.
Davis was arrested March 25 and charged with promoting prostitution and money laundering. Prosecutors say the 32-year-old ran a high-priced escort ring called "Wicked Models" out of two East Side apartments. She has pleaded not guilty.
On Wednesday, state Supreme Court Justice Thomas Farber reduced her bail from $2 million to $400,000. Farber said he's convinced Davis will return to court when required.
The bond is secured by an apartment Davis owns, by a $125,000 bank account, and by her mother's pension.
Davis must wear a monitoring anklet, report daily to her bail-bondsman, and may not leave the tri-state area without court permission.
