DC Cop Busted In Prostitution Sting

Authorities say a D.C. police officer was arrested in an Internet sting run by the department’s anti-prostitution unit.

The officer’s attorney says the misdemeanor charge against his client was routinely dismissed last week after he completed a daylong education program that teaches the risks of prostitution.

Authorities alleged that the officer responded to an advertisement investigators placed on Craigslist, an online classified service, and arranged to meet a woman he thought was a prostitute at a downtown hotel last month.

After they set a price for sex, authorities say officers entered the room and arrested the officer. Police say he was among eight men arrested in the sting that night.

Police say there’s an administrative investigation under way.
