FORMER UNM PRESIDENT CHRIS GARCIA WON'T BE PROSECUTED FOR ALLEGEDLY RUNNING AN ON-LINE PROSTITUTION RING. THE STATE SUPREME COURT HAS UPHELD A LOWER COURT DECISION THAT THE WEB SITE "SOUTHWEST COMPANIONS" DID NOT VIOLATE STATE LAW.

GARCIA AND A RETIRED OUT-OF-STATE PROFESSOR WERE ARRESTED BY ALBUQUERQUE POLICE IN JUNE OF 2011 AND CHARGED WITH PROMOTING PROSTITUTION. THE D-A'S OFFICE IS NOW CONSIDERING WHAT ITS NEXT MOVE WILL BE.
