‘JOHN’ IN $EX APPEAL – HIT WITH 40G ESCORT BILL

So many women, so little memory.

A Manhattan man says he got once, twice, eight times more ladies than he asked for from a Queens escort service – along with a $40,000 credit card bill and a 15-hour gap in his memory.

“He doesn’t even remember if he was escorted, which is unfortunate, given the size of the bill” Leonard Monfredo’s lawyer, Kevin Claffey, told The Post.

Now, Monfredo is suing the escort agency, Midnight Club Escorts, for a refund – along with $1 million in punitive damages. A woman who answered the phone at the agency yesterday said she didn’t know about the case and declined comment.

The apparent octet-a-tete happened this past March, when Monfredo, 32, called Midnight Club Escorts “for the purpose of retaining the services of one of its escorts,” the suit says.

“That same evening,” the agency “directed ‘Jane Doe No. 1’ to appear at plaintiff’s residence to provide the escort services requested,” the suit says.

Monfredo agreed to pay for the escort with his credit card – and their “date” quickly went downhill when the writer drank a drink that had apparently been tampered with, the suit says.

“Shortly after ‘Jane Doe No. 1’s’ arrival, plaintiff without forewarning fell into an inebriated and semiconscious state,” the suit says.

That’s when the party apparently started, as the escort, without Monfredo’s “knowledge, permission or consent, invited ‘Jane Doe No. 2’ through ‘Jane Doe No. 8’ to [his] residence,” the suit says.

Claffey said his drugged client woke up between 15 to 18 hours later to find “everyone was gone and the apartment was a mess.”

He said his client wasn’t really aware of what had happened that night “until he started getting his credit card bills,” Claffey said. That’s when Monfredo asked the doorman of his Gramercy Park building if he remembered anything about that night, and the doorman told him “he thought he was having a party” because eight women had gone upstairs, Claffey said.

One of Monfredo’s credit card companies canceled $20,000 worth of payments to the agency, but he’s still on the hook for $19,500 in charges, Claffey said.

He said his client is “embarrassed” by the incident, but decided to fight “because what happened to him is wrong. He got ripped off.”
