Seattle University Professor Arrested in Child Sex Sting

An associate professor of military science at Seattle University has been arrested in Colorado as part of a child sex sting. Andrew Douglas Frank was arrested in Canon City, Colo., where he had flown to meet a teenage girl he'd been communicating with online. The underage girl he'd been sharing risque communiques with was no Lolita, she was in fact, an undercover officer.

Franz, who identified himself on-line as "sugardad4u33," had been chatting with the "girl" since December. During their conversations, Franz admitted that he taught at a university but, "the girls who went to the university were too old." It is believe that Franz traveled to Colorado with the sole intention of having a rendezvous with the supposed 13 year-old. A meeting was set for last Friday, where Franz promised to bring muscle relaxers and alcohol for the teen. When he was arrested, Franz had lingerie, fishnet stockings and a form of Viagra with him.

Franz faces numerous charges including: attempted sexual assault, attempted solicitation for child prostitution and attempted child trafficking. Seattle University has instructed Franz not to return to campus and has sent a letter notifying students and parents of his arrest.
