NEW PORT RICHEY - Andrew Kobak, better known as “Master Drew” in some circles, avoided prison this morning by agreeing to a deal with prosecutors for pimping out his so-called “sex slave.”

The 35-year-old Port Richey man pleaded guilty to one count of deriving proceeds from prostitution, one count of maintaining a place of prostitution and one count of possession of marijuana. In exchange, prosecutors dropped another 15 counts of deriving proceeds from prostitution.

Kobak was sentenced to three years’ probation, and Circuit Judge Jack Day agreed to withhold adjudication — a formal finding of guilt. That means Kobak won’t have a felony record if he successfully completes his probation. He could have been sentenced to 11 years in prison.

While Day gave Kobak a break, he also dished out some harsh words for the man who negotiated a contract with a 19-year-old woman he met on the Internet to become his sex slave.

“I’d just like to say there’s nothing masterful about being a pimp,” the judge said. “We have robbers, burglars, muggers, all kinds of gangsters come through here, but there’s nothing more contemptible than a pimp.”

Investigators say the young woman, Alyssandra Cardillo, met Kobak through a Web site devoted to bondage and sadomasochism and signed a 10-page contract pledging her housekeeping services, body and life to him for five years. That included having sex with the men who answered an online ad for after-work massages, detectives said. Investigators say Cardillo told them she had sex with 20 men in several days.

As part of his probation, Kobak won’t be allowed any contact with Cardillo, can’t have pornography of any kind, and isn’t allowed computer or Internet access, except for work. He lives in Pennsylvania, and his probation will be transferred there.
