"It was Internet-related and newspaper-related, where we had decoys posing as escorts in a local hotel."<br /><br />Among those arrested was Frank Morandi, 43, who until Thursday was a teacher and head basketball coach at The Bolles School.<br /><br />According to the arrest report, Morandi contacted a person he thought was a prostitute over the telephone and over the Internet. The private school told WJXT-TV that Morandi turned in his resignation, effective immediately.<br /><br />Another person arrested in the sting is Paul McDavid, 37, a lieutenant with the Jacksonville Fire Department. He did not return phone calls on Thursday.<br /><br />"I believe the families of these men are victims," Hartley said. "They're leading a secret life."<br /><br />Those arrested include an Brian Dunmore, a Yale University graduate who listed him employer as the PGA Tour, and Robert Handmaker, who owns Cruiser's Grill at the beach. According to the police report, Handmaker brought a pair of panties and asked the woman she thought was a prostitute to put them on.<br /><br />Others facing the misdemeanor charge of soliciting include an employee of Duval County schools and two Navy men.<br /><br />"I wish to say that we never catch people who are preachers doctors or lawyers or policeman or fireman, but I am telling you, this affects every walk of life."<br /><br />According to the reports, one man, Jefferson Miclat, resisted arrest and police used a Taser gun on him before he was taken into custody.<br /><br />Detectives said this roundup should send a message to anyone considering approaching someone intending to pay for sex.<br /><br />"When you stop and go out on the street, it may be one of our decoys, so beware," Hartley said.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7432830621103221525-6106198594965687896?l=florida-escorts-net.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buddyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541353827201374895noreply@blogger.com0
