Anna Gristina, the so-called Millionaire Madame, receives on Monday a sentence of time served after pleading guilty to running an escort service and serving four months behind bars.

Prosecutors say Gristina ran a multimillion-dollar prostitution ring out of an Upper East Side apartment.

Up to now, officials say Gristina called it a dating service.

She pleaded guilty in September to promoting prostitution and was given five years' probation.

The Manhattan district attorney's office responded to the sentencing, calling Gristina a pimp and a felon who "has no one to blame but herself for her decisions."
