City manager stung in prostitution sting
It's always interesting when a police department does a prostitution sting and releases the names of the "johns" it arrests to the media.
Not every city does it, but some decided years ago that it might serve as a deterrent if the men knew their names might get out if they got caught.
I've been doing this job for more than 20 years and seen many lists of names. Inglewood PD sends them to me now and then. I've never seen one I recognized.
It was different for the reporters out in the San Gabriel Valley today. This morning, Pomona police released the names of a bunch of men busted in a sting. Among them was James Mussenden, the city manager of El Monte. Story.
