Cristina Warthen, née Cristina Schultz, is a 2001 graduate of Stanford Law School and a fitness model who has been pictured in Iron Man, Muscular Development, Maxim, and Playboy Lingerie. Schultz was in the news in 2004 as the alleged "law school escort," the woman who allegedly claimed to repay hundreds of thousands of dollars of law school loans through a career as a professional escort.
In 2004, the government filed a civil forfeiture complaint against money ($61,000) found in her safe-deposit boxes and apartment in January 2004, alleging that she was a professional escort with the alias "Brazil" based on her webpage, which quoted "overnight" rates; her postings to "escort" boards, where she boasted of repaying $300,000 in law-school loans; others' postings to "escort" boards, where dozens of people related tales of paying Schultz for sex; her financial records; and interviews with an escort who said she did service calls with Schultz and a former client who said he paid Schultz for sex. Schultz allegedly declared only $30,000 in income between 1997 and 2003, and has not filed a claim for the money or denied the charges under oath. No criminal charges have been filed.
In May 2004, Schultz married Internet entrepreneur David Warthen; Warthen intervened in the civil forfeiture case and filed a claim that the money was his gift to Schultz.[1]
As of late 2004, Schultz has a clothing business in Moraga, California.
On August 15, 2006, United States District Judge Susan Ilston dismissed the civil forfeiture action upon a settlement between the United States and Warthen. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed on the court's electronic docket.
