BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) ― Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt is reveling in US Senator David Vitter's admission of a "very serious sin" involving an escort service and says he's got leads on embarrassing sexual activities involving other members of Congress.

Vitter made the acknowledgment Monday after Flynt's magazine contacted him and said phone records linked him to a Washington DC service that federal prosecutors say was a prostitution ring.

Flynt says he's indignant over what he calls hypocrisy represented by Vitter, a social conservative.

Flynt has offered to pay $1 million to anyone who can show he or she had a sexual encounter with a member of Congress or a high-ranking government official. He says the offer has produced promising tips.
