Pimpin' Ain't Easy

Weeping pimp slapped with prison term

He was hard on his ho’s — and now a brutal pimp will be doing some long, hard time.

A Brooklyn judge yesterday slapped Anthony McCord, a self-proclaimed expert in “pimpology,” with a 21-years-to-life sentence after the flesh peddler tearfully apologized for robbing two of his prostitutes and knocking around another.

“You referred to it as ‘The Game.’ You treated it as a game,” Justice Wayne Ozzi scolded McCord. “I’d like to say at this time, the game is over.”

McCord, 30, turned on the waterworks (right) before being sentenced for burglary and robbery, with tears spilling down his cheeks as he tried to disavow his life of crime.

“I was a failure as a pimp,” McCord blubbered. “I was a much better car salesman. I was a much better telemarketer. I was much better when I was selling mortgages by phone. I really wasn’t very good at it.”

His sob story was in marked contrast to his boastful performance last year at trial, when he claimed his actions toward his stable of working girls during the March 2010 incident were in line with “the code of conduct of pimps and ho’s.”

He even offered himself up as an expert on pimping — a request promptly swatted away by Ozzi during the trial.

Jurors cleared McCord of raping one of his hookers but convicted him of burglarizing the Brooklyn hotel where two of the women were waiting on johns and of robbing them.

“They’re not entitled to be treated in that manner, regardless of whatever they do to earn money,” said Ozzi, noting McCord had treated the women like the cars and cellphones he once sold.

“I see nothing here that tells me you’re not going to go back into that lifestyle,” the judge said.
