ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Former University of New Mexico President F. Chris Garcia was arrested and jailed Thursday in connection with a multistate, online prostitution ring that authorities say was run by a physics professor from New Jersey.

Police said Garcia, 71, and Fairleigh Dickinson professor David Flory, 68, were among seven members identified in the top echelon of the ring. Six have been arrested, and warrants have been issued for one more, Albuquerque police Chief Ray Schultz said.

Investigators said the ring had some 1,400 members, including 200 prostitutes, but there was no indication that any other universities or students were involved.

"At this point it looks purely coincidental" that two of the top members were academics, police Lt. William Roseman said.

Schultz emphasized the investigation had just started and that human trafficking and racketeering charges were possible.

Run by a physics professor? Well, sex does involve phyisics I guess.

These retired professors must have really nice pensions

and those are just the taxpayer funded portions.this is just extra gravy for a job well done.

Thanks WOBBLY BOB:

Garcia is also an author whose 11 books include "Hispanics and the US Political System" and "Moving into the Mainstream."

So, the proposed internet sales tax -- gonna cover services as well? :')
