Gwinnett Prosecutor Arrested in DeKalb Prostitution Sting

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — A prosecutor in the Gwinnett County District Attorney's office has been arrested as part of a prostitution sting in neighboring DeKalb County.

Assistant District Attorney Christopher Quinn, 46, of Alpharetta, turned himself in Wednesday and has been charged with pandering and violation of Georgia's felony racketeering statute, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Quinn was one of eight people arrested as part of an operation that included a New Year's Day sting. Police told the AJC a high-end escort service was operating out of an apartment across the street from the Dunwoody Police headquarters.

Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter told the paper he's aware of the arrest and is waiting for more information to emerge. Quinn is currently out of the office on leave, Porter said.

Porter said Quinn works in the appeals section of the DA's office, where he's been employed for about four years after retiring from the Fulton County DA's office.
