San Diego deputy enters guilty plea in prostitution case
- Share via
A San Diego County sheriff’s deputy facing a charge of soliciting a prostitute has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disturbing the peace and been sentenced to three years’ probation and a $550 fine.
The plea was agreed to by the city attorney’s office after deputy Stuart Rea attended and completed a “prostitution impact” course and attended an AIDS-HIV lecture, according to court officials. The reduction in charges is standard in first-offense prostitution cases, officials said.
Rea, a member of the department since 1991, was put on desk duty after he was cited. A personnel investigation is underway.
