Holy Crap!

Anyone else see this in the Herald this morning:

A longtime University of Miami Law School professor who teaches criminal procedure and constitutional law has been charged with soliciting an undercover officer for sex.

D. Marvin Jones, 56, was arrested Aug. 22 in Miami's Little River neighborhood.

Police said Jones drove his 2004 Mercedes-Benz sports car to the intersection of Northwest 79th Street and First Court at about 10 p.m. He approached an officer who was posing as a prostitute and offered $20 for sex, according to a police incident report.

Jones, a published author who has taught at UM since 1988, has been on sabbatical since the beginning of the fall academic semester.

Jones pleaded not guilty to the solicitation charge last month and has requested a trial, court records show. If convicted of the second-degree misdemeanor, Jones would face up to 60 days in jail.

Boy, that sucks. Professor Jones!

Note that the article does not identify the sex of the undercover officer. Does anyone know more about the circumstances of this arrest? Why is an August arrest in the paper now?
