Villanova Law School dean Mark Sargent resigned June 29, a week before the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Pennsylvania State Police had found Sargent, on Nov. 25, at a house used by prostitutes.

He paid a woman $170 for 35 minutes of sexual contact, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer report.

After he was found at the house, Sargent, who is married, helped prosecutors force a no-contest plea in July from the man charged with operating the prostitution ring at the house.
