Michigan- Alycia Martin, the Westland woman accused of trading money for sex from the husband of a U.S. Senator, will spend less than five days in jail for violating her probation, a Troy judge ruled this morning.

Martin, 21, was lead away by an Oakland County Sheriff’s deputy in tears after the ruling by 52-4 District Judge William Bolle.
Martin's attorney, Frank Cusumano Jr., said he was surprised by the decision to send Martin to jail.
“I don’t know why he’d throw her in jail, but it underscores the whole thing,” he said. “There is a disparity between wealth and poverty.”
Martin was charged last year with misdemeanor prostitution for alleged sexual encounter in a Troy hotel with Tom Athans, husband of U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow.
She was allowed to plead to a lesser charge but failed to pay court costs or submit to alcohol and drug testing.
