News reports typically don't offer much detail on CL Stings. I found one that did. While the main thing that it adds is that the sting took place in an "at a Holiday Inn on Elm Hill Pike" any details help:
[quote]Online sex sting collars teachers
By Amanda N. Maynord and Amy Griffith
The Metro Police Department’s use of the free Web site craigslist.com netted a slew of citations in a prostitution sting late last week, including two teachers and a county government employee.
Two Metro school teachers and one local Davidson County Courts employee found themselves in the middle of the Metro Police Department Vice Squad’s prostitution sting Feb. 13.
The sting resulted in citations to 18 men for patronizing prostitution at a Holiday Inn on Elm Hill Pike, including Quintin Caine, 25, of 3024 Ewingdale Dr., a math teacher at Whites Creek High, and Damon Dietz, 29, of 1540 Lascassas Pike in Murfreesboro, an English teacher at Antioch High.
Metro school officials confirmed both teachers were on administrative leave without pay following their involvement in the sting last week.
Police say the men responded to a posting on craigslist.com and, over an 11-hour period, allegedly struck deals for sex with a female police operative at a local motel.
All 18 men were issued state misdemeanor citations and are scheduled to be booked March 5.
The sting — which appears to represent a veritable cross section of Middle Tennesseans — also included Bradley Frakes, 31, of 7231 Althorp Way, an employee of Davidson County Courts.
Whites Creek teacher Caine is currently head boys’ track coach and athletics department business manager, according to information provided by Olivia Brown, public relations coordinator for Metro Nashville Schools.
Records do not indicate that Dietz was responsible for any extra-curricular activities.
Both Caine and Dietz are recent hires — Caine was hired in January 2006, and Dietz in August 2007, according to Brown.
It is unclear how the information trickled down to the school district, as Brown said the district was not notified by the police department.
“Certainly if we arrest a school teacher in a sexual assault case, notification to the school system would be made, but in these misdemeanor sting situations — no, the police department does not have a protocol,” said Don Aaron, Metro Police spokesperson.
Metro schools, however, does have a policy that requires all employees to “report any arrest or criminal citation to the department head/principal no later than the first workday following the incident.”
This is not the first time Metro Police Vice Squad officers have gone high tech to crack down on prostitution in the city.
For almost two years the department has been posting listings on craigslist.com as it has quickly become one of the primary ways for prostitutes and their clients to find one another, according to police.
Police believe that as much as 90 percent of the local sex industry uses craigslist as its primary means of advertising, having abandoned advertising in the phone book, in the case of escort services.
“This activity has turned to the Internet and the police department’s attention has been turned to the Internet as well,” Aaron said.
He said the department has made tremendous strides over the past 10-15 years in cleaning up organized prostitution by closing down known stores serving as brothels in the area.[/quote]
