Eleven Texas police officers have been disciplined for misconduct related to prostitution stings at massage parlors. Some of the officers are accused of inappropriate physical conduct with alleged sex workers during the stings, while others are accused of failing to stop or report this misconduct. Thirteen officers were investigated, and three wound up fired as a result.
"The investigation started after the Denton County District Attorney's Office brought to my attention some concerning aspects of 23 prostitution cases that our department had filed with his office," Lewisville Police Department (LPD) Chief Brook Rollins wrote in a statement. The cases involved 28 suspects and 32 criminal charges.
