A former Florida prosecutor was arrested after approaching two officers and offering them money for sex during an undercover prostitution sting.
According to police, former Miami-Dade County prosecutor David Benjamin approached two undercover officers and agreed to pay $30 for a sex act at a nearby motel during a prostitution sting involving officers from the Miami and Coral Gables police departments.
Officers arrested Benjamin, 41, shortly before midnight on January 20th after he approached the officers near 44th Avenue and Eighth Street.
Benjamin was driving a white Lexus when officers stopped and arrested him near the Campina Motel.
Ed Griffith, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office, confirmed Benjamin was no longer an employee when he was arrested.
Benjamin is facing a misdemeanor charge of offering to commit prostitution.
He was released on $500 bond.
His arraignment hearing is on February 15th.
