Former Oregon House Speaker and current Clackamas Community College board member Dave Hunt (Democrat) was cited by Portland police in an undercover sex traffic sting operation in April.
Contacted by the Portland Tribune on Monday, Hunt said, "I don't think I should talk about that."
Clackamas Community College announced several hours later that Hunt was taking a leave from the board.
As a legislator, Hunt was one of numerous sponsors of a bill criminalizing sex trafficking in 2007. In 2011, he also voted for HB 2714, the bill that created the crime of commercial sexual solicitation, the crime for which he was arrested and cited.
The Portland Police Bureau issued a press release on Saturday saying its Human Trafficking Unit had cited eight men in an operation conducted in April. Officers posted online decoy ads on known human trafficking websites, and the subjects who "contacted undercover police officers to arrange payment for sexual acts" were criminally cited on the charge of commercial sexual solicitation.
The release did not name those cited, but said the list was available on request. The Portland Tribune requested the list and received it Monday morning, May 3. It included "53-year-old David Hunt of Milwaukie."

He sponsors a bill to fight sex trafficking, and he participates in the vile activities involved with sex trafficking. Sadly ironic.
There is no way these activities started after he left public life—it was just easier to catch him and make the charges stick.
Dave Hunt? Let me guess, his younger brother is named Michael? Pfffff.
Also good friends with Michael Hawk.
He heard there was a new crop of young Mexicans.
Good thing his first name is not “Mike”
Ron Wyden smuggled illegal aliens across the border. But that D next to your name means you are above the law.

“He sponsors a bill to fight sex trafficking,”
Other people’s sex trafficking
