I'd be verrrrry interested in his list of clients......  (Board of Regents?, the endless supply of UNM VP's???, student-athletes??)  It'll be a loooong hot summer for most of them.....  I wonder how many will 'fess up early, per APD's clemency offer??

One more thing - this is our for real, home-grown version of "Breaking Bad"....  (Maybe the show can work in a subplot about a physics professor becoming a pimp....  )

Something tells me it is going to be a long, hot summer for some of the UNM hierarchy!

The Daily Lobo offers a bit more on the story, including his lame code name:  Burque Pops.

I think prostitution should be legal I do not think is the role of the police to be moral agents. In places that make it legal the workers are better protected. I would say Chris Garcia was doing a public service helping those who enjoy doing this. Waste of money and time to arrest someone on this.

Time for society to grow up on this.

I think legalization is a bit extreme.  However, I do think it is sad that our society is quick to condemn people for crimes that are probably more caused by addictions/mental health issues than malicious intent.  Clearly, Dr. Garcia has contributed a ton to this community, it is unfortunate that his mistakes will likely overshadow his accomplishments.
