Sugardaddie.com describes itself on its website as a service for “slightly older gentlemen of wealth, willing to enter into a mutually beneficial relationship with younger attractive ladies for the purpose of showing them a more affluent lifestyle.”

Much of the case against Reed deals with alleged misuse of campaign money, some of which prosecutors claim he diverted illegally to his son, Steven Reed, who is a co-defendant in the case.

Documents obtained by The Advocate suggest prosecutors might intend to use information from Sugardaddie.com to show that a Thanksgiving dinner hosted by Reed at the upscale Dakota restaurant in Covington was not a campaign event but a private soiree paid for by campaign donations.

Mark2200 mentioned the dinner in online chats in November 2011 with three different women, describing it to each as an event for family and friends.

“Have a private room reserved tomorrow at my favorite restaurant for about 25 and so I won’t have to worry about cooking and dirty dishes,” one message said.

“Each year I reserve a private room at Dakota’s Restaurant in Covington for about 25 close friends and family,” another post said.
