Pittsburgh Adult Entertainment: 6 of 9 charges against former city policeman dropped

October 22, 2011

With little explanation, the Allegheny County district attorney’s office on Friday withdrew the majority of charges against a former Pittsburgh police officer accused of running a prostitution service.
County police in August charged Michael C. Johns, 44, with nine counts of crimes including promoting prostitution, obstructing justice and drug possession with intent to deliver. Detectives said he helped prostitutes obtain heroin, provided them transportation and let them use a computer in his Brookline home to post online ads to adult websites.

County police officials did not return calls for comment about the investigation, which spawned from an April traffic stop involving a car that was rented by Mr. Johns. The driver, whose prostitution charges also have since been withdrawn, told detectives he had been driving a woman to a man’s house for a “sexual performance” and that the woman’s boyfriend, Mr. Johns, had rented the car, a Cadillac sedan.
