ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (WPIX)—
David Flory, a physics teacher at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey, was arrested Tuesday for running an online prostitution website, according to police.
Cops arrested the New York City resident in Albuquerque, New Mexico on 40 counts of promoting prostitution.
Flory holds a master's degree from Columbia University and a doctorate from Yeshiva University.
He had a vacation home in Santa Fe, but ran a website called Southwest Companions from his home in New York, his vacation home in Santa Fe, and even from a school computer, reports say.
Flory told police he did not make any money off the website and saw it as more of a "hobby."
The website had as many as 200 women, and more than 1,200 'johns", and was reportedly "very secure" requiring users to go through various levels in order to become "trusted" users.
Trusted users were frequent users of the website and had access to more women, message boards that ranked the prostitutes, and instructions on what to do if caught by police.
Bail is currently set at $100,000.
