Cop arrested for prostitute strip search Mon Nov 20, 7:32 PM ET
MANCHESTER, N.J. - A police officer who claimed he was conducting his own prostitution sting and strip search ended up being the one arrested. Authorities arrested James Michael Jackson, a police officer with the state Department of Human Services, and charged him with sexual assault and sexual misconduct for the so-called sting.
According to authorities, Jackson, 34, of Toms River, arranged through a service for a woman to meet him Wednesday at a local hotel in Manchester.
When she arrived, Jackson, carrying a badge and gun, told her she was under arrest. He made her take off her clothes and consent to a body cavity search before letting her go, said Ocean County Assistant Prosecutor Martin Anton.
The prosecutor said Jackson overstepped his bounds as a law enforcement official when he placed the female prostitute under arrest and performed a strip search.
As a police officer, Jackson had authority to make arrests, but not through an undercover operation of his own, Anton said.
"And a male to strip-search a female is just not done," he added.
The woman reported the incident to authorities the next day, after she talked to law enforcement officers she knew who said Jackson's behavior was illegal.
Jackson had been a police officer with Human Services for about six years. The department has about 75 officers working in various institutions and psychiatric hospitals or, in Jackson's case, with children's services case officers.
Jackson was assigned to the Division of Youth and Family Services' Monmouth South office in Asbury Park.
Ed Rogan, a spokesman for the state Department of Human Services, expected that Jackson would be suspended by Monday, with proceedings leading to his termination starting soon after.
Jackson, who is free on $50,000 bail, faces five to 10 years in prison if convicted.

Mao's home province puts sex on the Internet
BEIJING (Reuters) - A school in Mao Zedong's home province, slower than most to adopt reforms that have now swept the country, has launched its first sex education Web site to stop children feeling embarrassed by the subject.
The service was set up by the No. 15 Middle School in the provincial capital Changsha at the weekend, the China Daily said.
"The service provides students with a safe, discrete and convenient tool for navigating their way through a subject that has long been fraught with taboos," the newspaper said, saying the Hunan school was following in the footsteps of schools in bigger, more liberal cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.
Li Bian, deputy director of the AIDS Prevention Education Project for Chinese Youth, said the country had been waiting far too long.
"The level of sex education at middle schools, as well as at colleges and universities, has shown few signs of improvement, even though the country has stressed the need for education for years," he was quoted as
saying.
Under Mao, sex became officially a matter of doing one's reproductive duty for the state.
Hunan was slower than most provinces in adopting the reforms implemented by Deng Xiaoping in the years that followed Mao's death in 1976.
