BALTIMORE, MD. (Crime Library) —"Alexis is sophisticated, refined, educated and articulate. She has two Bachelor's of Science degrees, one in biology and the other in sociology. She also holds a Ph.D. from an elite university and continues to work part-time in her discipline. Professional clients often say that they enjoy talking with Alexis and that her intelligence, creativity and energy enhances their experiences." This is the description of Alexis Angel that appeared on her Internet website, AlexisAngel.com (now offline).
What most people did not know was that Alexis Angel was actually 43-year-old Brandy Britton, a former sociology and anthropology professor at the University of Maryland. Britton was, according to her website, "a very passionate full-service, GFE (girl friend experience) escort and erotic masseuse."

This multi-talented woman, who was popular with friends and johns alike, was found hanged in her home on Saturday. Police do not suspect foul play in the incident, which they believe was a result of both legal and financial problems Britton was dealing with.
Britton, who graduated from the University of California in 1994, worked as a professor at the University of Maryland. Her stint there came to an end in 1999, when she lost her job and filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against the university. The suit was later dismissed after a federal judge ruled that Britton had falsified data on a research project for the National Institutes of Health. Following the loss of her job, Britton married, divorced, and tried her hand at various occupations before allegedly settling upon prostitution as a way of earning an income.

Britton first came to the attention of the Howard County police in March 2005, when an anonymous caller told the department that "prostitution activity" was taking place at Britton's $400,000 Ellicott City home. That same caller provided information about a website where Britton was offering her services.
