DUBLIN, Ohio—Columbus police have charged a former member of Governor Ted Strickland’s staff with seven felonies, involving a prostitution ring.

NBC 4’s Mike Bowersock GETS RIGHT TO THE POINT Wednesday.

Eric McFadden, who until October of 2007 was head of Strickland’s Office of Faith-Based Initiatives, was arrested Wednesday morning in Dublin.

Police said they believe McFadden was “Toby,“ the man they have been looking for during the past two months after busting up a prostitution ring that was operated on Craig’s List.

An employee of the OSU School of Nursing and an employee of the Franklin County Children Services was arrested at that time.

McFadden was being charged with seven felonies, including pandering obscenities involving a minor, promoting prostitution and compelling prostitution.

Police said the number of charges could rise to 15.

Police also said McFadden was the go-to guy in Columbus when it came to prostitution.

Police said McFadden was involved in Columbus prostitution for about six years. They claimed he was the “guru” of Columbus prostitution, writing reviews of their services and advice on how not to get caught.

I”m still waiting for the MSM to begin investigating Strickland’s romantic trips to Paris with his top MALE aide, while his ‘wife’ lives in Lexington Kentucky.
