New York- The million-dollar Madam says she is no different from a porn producer, and authorities should keep their handcuffs to themselves.

Lawyers for Jenny Paulino, busted in December for sending call girls to pricey prostitution dens in Manhattan high-rises, charge that the buxom madam is being targeted unfairly while prosecutors ignore other sex-driven industries – such as porno flicks.

In a novel legal argument, Paulino’s lawyers contend that cracking down on escort services is unconstitutional because media companies have been allowed to produce pornography unchecked.

“Promoting prostitution is paying someone to have sex,” said lawyer Gerald Lefcourt. “Time Warner and the others who have adult channels pay people to have sex so they can film it and show it, but they’re not being prosecuted.”

Legal papers, filed Friday by Paulino’s lawyers, claim there is “no rational, moral or legal difference” between running an escort service and funding a for-profit sex film, for instance. The Manhattan district attorney’s office has several weeks to respond in writing to the legal argument. A representative for Time Warner did not return calls for comment yesterday.
