The alleged prostitute "Kristen" in the New York governor sex scandal is a 22-year-old New Jersey native who now worries what people will think of her, NY Times reports.

"I just don't want to be thought of as a monster," the woman, tells The New York Times. "This has been a very difficult time. It is complicated."

Dupre has been subpoenaed to testify in a grand jury investigation, her lawyer, Don D. Buchwald, told a magistrate judge in court on Monday.

According to her MySpace page, her first love is music – the page features one of her own recordings and lists Patsy Cline, Frank Sinatra, Christina Aguilera and Lauryn Hill among her influences, PEOPLE reports.

Dupre writes that she left a "broken family" at age 17, used drugs, was "broke and homeless" and "learned what it was like to have everything and lose it, again and again."
