Prosecutor Charged in Dunwoody Prostitution Ring Resigns

DUNWOODY, GA -- A prosecutor in the Gwinnett County District Attorney's Office has resigned after being caught in a prostitution sting in Dunwoody, Patch has learned.

Assistant District Attorney Christopher Quinn, 46, of Alpharetta, had been charged with pandering and violation of Georgia's felony racketeering statute when he was arrested Jan. 17 after law enforcement agencies broke up two massive sex escort operations.

He was put on suspension with pay to deal with his legal troubles, but apparently it became too much.

"Chris has resigned to spare my office further turmoil," Gwinnett District Attorney Danny Porter told Patch Friday afternoon."The resignation is effective 2-24."

Police arrested more than 50 people for racketeering influenced and corrupt organizations (RICO) violations, including 29 women for prostitution, 19 men for pandering and three people with pimping, Dunwoody police said.

More arrests were expected as law enforcement officials set out to identify the customers, police said.
