NEW ORLEANS — A Washington-based public watchdog group said it has asked Louisiana’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel to investigate Sen. David Vitter, an attorney, for allegedly soliciting prostitutes.
The bar complaint by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington arises from Vitter’s admission of a “serious sin” in 2007 after his phone number appeared in records of a Washington prostitution ring. Vitter has refused to discuss details or answer questions about the matter. He has denied subsequent allegations of involvement with prostitutes in New Orleans.
The Baton Rouge-based Office of Disciplinary Counsel, which reviews lawyer conduct, did not immediately return a call for comment Tuesday.
