El Monte city manager cited in prostitution sting

Pomona police say they posed as prostitutes and johns to arrest 30 suspected streetwalkers and customers – including the city manager of nearby El Monte.

Police say 59-year-old James Mussenden was among 18 men issued citations for soliciting Thursday night. He was not jailed.

Mussenden’s office was closed Friday and a call seeking comment was not immediately returned.

Officer Richard Martinez says undercover vice officers conducted a sting operation from about 6 p.m. to midnight Thursday in a Pomona neighborhood that has been the focus of complaints about solicitation.

In addition to the men, police booked and jailed a dozen women on suspicion of prostitution.
