GREG LAFLEUR SERVED NEARLY SIX YEARS AS SOUTHERN'S A.D. BEFORE HIS GOOD REPUTATION AND CAREER WAS DERAILED BY THE HARRIS COUNTY/HOUSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT. |
HOUSTON, TEXAS - A jury has found former Southern University Athletic Director Greg LaFleur not guilty on a charge of prostitution. The jury of six reached its decision Tuesday night, said a spokeswoman for the Harris County District Attorney's office in Houston.
"This should have never happened," LaFleur told WAFB 9NEWS Wednesday. "The chic solicited me. I have lived with this for a year. I'm more pissed off than happy."
At the time of his arrest, the prosecutor's office in Harris County characterized the case as "straight sex for pay." According to the police report, LaFleur was accused of picking up an undercover police officer posing as a prostitute.
