STRESSED OUT: Michelle Robinson leaving the federal courthouse in South Boston in May 2008 confessed to smoking marijuana thre times since May 8.

The petulant prostitute barred by court order from outing a married businessman-philanthropist on her secret client list is stressed out, toking dope and desperate to quit town, raising the risk she could rat out the VIP if feds try to lock her up“

This is probably the beginning of the pot boiling over. She’s going to make the feds look like idiots,” said former prosecutor Wendy Murphy. “The probation department is not a swap meet. They’re indulging her extortionist tactics. It’s embarrassing, but it was so predictable.”

Huffy hooker Michelle Robinson, 30, has confessed to U.S. Probation she has smoked marijuana three times since May 8, placing her one toke away from a mandatory revocation hearing before U.S. District Court Chief Judge Mark L. Wolf that could put the single mother behind bars.

Wolf last year vowed to send her to the can for 36 months if she outed the deep-pocketed 60-something businessman she bedded as he sought an extra-marital fling.

Convicted of threatening to take down the tycoon trick if he didn’t pay her $280,000, Robinson wants to move to sunny Georgia - and the feds appear willing to help her relocate.

When federal authorities in Georgia slammed the door on her recent bid to move south, Robinson “identified stress as a primary trigger for her drug use,” according to her supervised release noncompliance summary.

But the same two-page report, which Wolf approved yesterday, states the federal probation office in Boston is working with Robinson “to resubmit the relocation request” to Georgia, “provided that Ms. Robinson complies with her treatment, restitution and other supervision expectations.”

In the past year, Robinson also has been written up for going missing, walking out on a job selling makeup and threatening staff at a halfway house. Still, last summer, Wolf allowed her to take out a loan to attend beauty school.

John Bocon, U.S. chief probation officer in Boston, said probationers are allowed four drug violations within a year before they’re called before a judge. Bocon said Wolf has the option of ordering Robinson into rehab as an alternative to incarceration.

“We look to assist individuals in dealing with their problems,” Bocon said. “Eventually, at some point, they’re going to return to the community and they need to learn coping mechanisms.”

Cherie Jimenez, director of Kim’s Project, a Boston program that helps women escape the sex trade, said, “If (Robinson) doesn’t want to be the perpetual victim here, she has to move on. There is so much hypocrisy involved (in prostitution). It’s about class, it’s about inequality, it’s about gender. But she could change that, and it sounds like she’s not doing it.”

After a six-month romp that ended in June 2008, the secret businessman bought Robinson’s silence for $280,000 when she convinced him a reporter was offering her $1 million for the tale of their tawdry trysts. But then she was nabbed by authorities when he enlisted their undercover help.
