Officials report that the man who spearheaded the infamous Secret Service prostitution investigation was caught in a similarly compromising situation.
In 2012, David Nielan led the Department of Homeland Security's probe into a reported orgy involving members of the Secret Service, hookers, cocaine, and booze in Colombia. However, the New York Times reports that Nielan's expertise with prostitutes goes much deeper that investigations involving them:
Sheriff’s deputies in Broward County, Fla., saw David Nieland, the investigator, entering and leaving a building they had under surveillance as part of a prostitution investigation, according to officials briefed on the investigation. They later interviewed a prostitute who identified Mr. Nieland in a photograph and said he had paid her for sex.
Mr. Nieland resigned after he refused to answer a series of questions from the Department of Homeland Security inspector general about the incident, the officials said.
According to the Times, a Homeland Security spokesman confirmed that Nieland resigned in August, only noting that the department learned about "an incident" in Florida involving prostitutes in May.
