A jury was selected on Thursday for the trial of alleged madam Jody ``Babydol'' Gibson, who is charged with running a Hollywood call-girl ring catering to the rich and famous.
Gibson, arrested in June last year after a 10-month sting operation by Los Angeles police, denies 12 counts of pimping and pandering. Her lawyers will argue that there is no proof she profited from prostitution.
Prosecutors say Gibson ran an international call girl ring, with its own Web site, whose clients included Hollywood actors and producers, company CEOs and at least one professional athlete. The list has not been released.
Gibson could face about 20 years in jail if convicted on all the charges. Her trial is expected to start on March 7.
