SEATTLE — Authorities say an associate professor of military science who worked at Seattle University’s Reserve Officer Training Corps has been arrested in Canon City, Colo., accused of several crimes related to soliciting a child for prostitution.
Canon City police say Andrew Douglas Franz, 41, flew to Colorado late last week to meet what he thought was an underage girl with whom he had been corresponding online. Franz had really been corresponding with a Colorado law enforcement team that focuses on Internet crimes against children.
Franz is being held in the Fremont County Detention Center while police investigate eight offenses, including soliciting for child prostitution, police said.
Provost John Eshelman said he’s asked the Army to end Franz’s assignment with the university.
