The call girl at the center of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal is revealed.

The New York Times identifies her as a 22-year-old aspiring musician from Manhattan.

It reports the real name of the woman, identified as "Kristen" in court papers, is Ashley Alexandra Dupre.

Dupre is said to be the prostitute Spitzer met with in a Washington hotel last month.

Dupre briefly spoke to the Times and said she doesn't "want to be thought of as a monster."

And says, "This has been a very difficult time. It's complicated."

Dupre declined to comment on when she first met Spitzer and how many times they had been together.
