The Dallas Morning News reports that John Attanasio, the former dean of the Dedman School of Law at Southern Methodist University in Dallas was arrested by Texas Department of Public Safety officers on prostitution charges.  Attanasio was arrested early Sunday morning and booked into the Collin County Jail on charges of solicitation of prostitution.  He was released after posting a $500 bond for the charge, which is a Class B misdemeanor.  SMU has declined comment other than to confirm that Attanasio is still employed but will not be teaching classes this week.
