Secret Service agent on VP's detail caught after meeting with prostitute at Maryland hotel

Source: CNN

CNN has learned from multiple law enforcement sources that a Secret Service agent on Vice President Mike Pence's detail has been suspended from official duties after meeting a prostitute at a Maryland hotel. One law enforcement source says the agent was caught when police saw him exiting the prostitute's room.

The police responded to a call from the hotel manager who became suspicious of activity in one of the rooms. The source said this was not a sting.

The agent was arrested and was charged with solicitation. He then self-reported his arrest to the Secret Service, the source said.
At the time of the incident, which occurred late last week, the agent was off-duty and did not present himself in his official capacity, according to law enforcement sources.

A Secret Service spokesperson, speaking on the record, acknowledges "an alleged incident" occurred and says it involved an off-duty Secret Service employee and said that the matter is under investigation by the Office of Professional Responsibility to determine the facts.

With that being said, it's just plain sexist for you to say that about Melania. You should delete your remark.

It's one thing when a person decides to lease out themselves, but quite another when being forced to do it & these days you never know which is occurring. Also, may are desperate under age teens , so I don't view it as harmless.

Prostitution should be legalized, anyway. If it was, it would be a hell of a lot safer for the prostitutes because it would be regulated and taxed.

Prohibitions NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER work. All they do is create organized crime.

Legalize prostitution, impose regulation on it and gee, suddenly the sex trafficking is greatly diminished. Legalize pot, and decriminalize drugs and gee, all of a sudden the vicious drug cartels aren't making any money, and we don't have to waste billions on interdiction, which NEVER worked, or on imprisoning people who should not be in there in the first place.

Seriously, maybe it's the travel schedule.

But most guys I know simply get a girlfriend or use an online account to hook up. Free.
