Lisa Ann Taylor Hits the Road, Tours Adult Clubs

Valerie Hoff & Leigha Baugham

The woman dubbed the "Mansion Madam" was back in her mansion Sunday night after a tour of adult nightclubs and she and one of the men arrested in connection with her case spoke exclusively with 11Alive News.

Police have accused Lisa Ann Taylor, an exotic dancer, and Nicole Probert of running a high-end prostitution ring out of Taylor's million-dollar home and charging prices up to $10,000 for sexual acts.

Taylor and Probert were arrested earlier this month on racketeering, prostitution and drug charges.

Taylor told 11Alive's Valerie Hoff Sunday that she is making money from her appearances but she is also paying a price. Taylor said that after dancing jobs in Detroit and Ontario over the weekend, the 42-year-old adult entertainer was also counting her injuries.

"My knees are going to be completely bruised, my legs are sore. I can't believe I can still do splits," said Taylor.

Taylor, whose stage name is Melissa Wolf said she was very well received at the nightclubs, but she had hoped that her dancing days were over.

"It's not what I want to be doing. I want to be doing real estate. I really do, I'm 42-year-old and I'm working with a bunch of girls who are 21. I'm old enough to be their mother," continued Taylor.

As Taylor prepared brunch for friends, she called herself a normal, everyday person who happened to have led an x-rated life earning money through dancing, her adult website and videos.

Taylor defended her lifestyle saying, "That's how I make my living and it’s a legal way to make a living."

Charles Hill, a former roommate of Taylor's said he saw no signs of prostitution in the months he lived in Taylor's Sugarloaf home.

"This is a pretty boring house to tell you the truth," remarked Hill.

Hill was also arrested in connection with Taylor's alleged prostitution ring and charged with conspiracy to possess cocaine, a charge he denies.

Taylor will hit the road again this week, and her waning career has been revitalized…at least for now.

Taylor said, "I hope I get a book deal and a movie deal of this because I don’t know what I'm going to do after that."
