Woman who lured Robinson testifies she did not know he was an Atlantic City councilman

Kristyn Haino said she didn’t know what she had gotten herself into.

The former prostitute agreed to perform a sex act on a man who turned on his friends, she testified Tuesday. She said didn’t know that man was an Atlantic City councilman, or that his former friends would use a tape of the act to try to force him to resign.

Haino testified Tuesday at the trial of three men accused of hiring her to seduce Councilman Eugene Robinson and give him oral sex then secretly taping it. The tape was allegedly part of a failed blackmail attempt to get him to resign.

When Robinson handed her his business card after their tryst that night in November 2006, she had one thought: “Holy crap,” she said. “It was way out of my league.”

Haino was an addict supporting her daily heroin and crack habit through prostitution when she said Howard Bailey – who she knew as Shadee – introduced her to his brother, Floyd Tally.

She testified that Tally said he wanted her to perform a sex act on a friend turned “backstabber.” He would be back in a couple of days to pick her up, he said.
