"G" is a successful businesswoman with a husband and family in the Allentown area. She doesn't want her name in the paper because her children don't know that her business for the past decade has been running an escort agency.

Soon, however, her cover will be blown. The proprietress of Regina's Referral Agency has been listed as a witness in the upcoming trial of David Downey. The Montgomery County businessman is facing third-degree murder (or drug delivery resulting in death) charges in connection with last year's death of 17-year-old call girl Ashley Burg.

"Downey did use my services," G tells City Paper, "but the Montgomery County detectives have asked me not to talk about Downey until after the trial."

Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor alleges that Downey, a 52-year-old known to frequent Philly strip joints, hired Burg and gave her cocaine at his posh Limerick home. Officials maintain that when Burg overdosed there, Downey paid an exotic dancer from a Port Richmond strip club and her boyfriend to come pick up, and dump, the body. (Castor brought charges against the couple on Friday.)

Though Downey claims Burg was alive when she left his home, her body was found Aug. 1, 2005 by a woman walking her dog in a Northeast Philly park.

"I have young children myself, and I would never employ or hurt a minor," says G. "What happened to Ashley Burg should never have happened. I send my condolences to the Burg family and want them to know how badly I feel for them."

G says the agency that hired Burg, run by a dancer who also worked at Tattle Tales South strip club, was a "fly-by-night operation. They hired a minor and did everything the wrong way."

The right way, according to G, is to run a referral agency the way she does it, complete with legitimate identification ensuring the aspiring escort is 18 years old, criminal background checks, periodic drug tests and "licenses for adult entertainment and escort dating services from Harrisburg, the county and City Hall."

The biggest misconception about her business, says G, is that her agency is about prostitution. The male and female escorts who work for G are on their own if it comes down to hanky-panky business; her Web site (www.paescorts.com) warns that the agency is not responsible for anything that happens between two consenting adults.

While G waits to testify to what she knows about Downey, the suspect remains in jail after his bail was revoked for allegedly hiring a call girl to meet him inside a King of Prussia hotel last month. A high-ranking source inside the DA's office claims Downey is in more trouble than he realizes. While out on bail, the source says, Downey hired a private medical service to test his own blood for traces of cocaine.

"What Downey doesn't know," the source maintains, "is that we know he tested positive for coke. And we even have the test results!"

A call toDowney's attorney, Tom Egan, for comment went unreturned.

Police expect more trouble involving Philly's newest motorcycle gang, the aptly named Outlaws, who opened a local chapter last year with nine dissatisfied members of the Warlocks in Philadelphia and Bucks County.

It seems neither the Pagans nor the Warlocks are happy to share their gritty piece of underworld turf. Many Warlocks are said to be seriously pissed off that the only Outlaws around here are former colleagues, ex-drinking buddies and former crime partners.

An associate of both the Pagans and the Warlocks says the plan to bring the Outlaws to town was hatched during last year's Bike Week in Daytona, Fla.

It seems that during the fun-in-the-sun biker run, a high ranking Philly Warlock ended up palling around with the Outlaws, and a mutual-admiration society sprung up. The Warlock decided that the Outlaws were the kind of criminals he wanted to emulate and soon convinced several friends to "patch over" to the murderous sworn enemies of the Hells Angels.

Members of the Outlaws are known to terrorize fellow criminals and have a reputation for ripping off violent Latin American drug gangs who operate in the U.S. Members have been convicted of racketeering, drug trafficking and murder; way back in 1967, a Florida chapter made national headlines when they nailed a young woman's hands to a tree limb with 4-inch 10-penny nails because she failed to give her biker boyfriend $10.

Founded at a roadhouse bar outside of Chicago in 1935, the Outlaws currently have more than 200 chapters in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia.
