A good old fashion “black book” prostitution scandal is brewing in U.S. District Court in downtown Detroit.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Blackwell has filed papers urging the court to deny a Florida defense attorney access to tens of thousands of customers’ names on a list of a Miami escort service that wound up getting busted in Detroit last summer, the Detroit Free Press reports. Customers paid up to $500 an hour.

The list also includes dates, phone numbers and sexual preferences, the Free Press reported.

The paper reported that the attorney wants the names to interview and check backgrounds of customers to prepare for the case. The prosecution is not buying that.

“In fact, it is quite conceivable that the sole purpose of this request is not to adequately prepare for trial, but only to intimidate, threaten or harass potential witnesses for the government … and that he is seeking to exploit this matter in the media with such aim,” the prosecutor wrote, according to the Free Press.
