Ohio's Former Faith-Based Programs Head Busted On Pimping Charge

Pimpin' ho's makes dat baby Jeebus cry, yo.

The former head of faith-based programs in Ohio was arrested Wednesday on charges he promoted prostitution, local news organizations report. WCMH-TV reports that Robert McFadden, director of the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives under Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland until October 2007, faces seven felony charges, including promotion of prostitution. He is accused of operating a rate-a-prostitute website, among other things. Keith Dailey, Strickland's press secretary, tells the Dayton Daily News that "this is a very sad, shocking and appalling situation." "Police said they believe McFadden was 'Toby,' the man they have been looking for during the past two months after busting up a prostitution ring from a home on Front Street in which prostitutes were raffled off on Craig’s List," the station says. Investigators tell the Dispatch that McFadden is also accused of posting photographs of a 17-year-old prostitute on the Internet. "McFadden, who told police yesterday that he is unemployed, was laid off by the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction in March because of budget cuts," the paper says.

Hold off on the schadenfreude though, according to Catholic Online, McFadden was a lefty who ran Hillary's Catholic outreach in Ohio and was critical of the pro-life movement. Cue the Freepers.....
