DeSoto County teacher Mark Alan Hogan among those arrested in prostitution sting

Poor guy just ran into some bad luck.  

Commercial Appeal reports a DeSoto County teacher and football coach is among 15 people arrested by Southaven police during an undercover sting for prostitution.


Mark Alan Hogan, 44, was charged along 10 other men with solicitation of prostitution during the sting Friday at an area hotel. Hogan, of Southaven, is an assistant football coach and science teacher at Center Hill High School in Olive Branch.

Katherine Nelson, communications director for DeSoto County Schools, said in a statement that Hogan is on administrative leave while an internal investigation is underway. Hogan was not at school Monday, according to Nelson.

Though she was surprised about the educator’s arrest, parent Tiffany Holman said she was glad that at least it didn’t involve inappropriate contact with students.
“It seems you hear every other day of a teacher somewhere being involved in sexual activity with a student,” said Holman, whose son, a junior at Center Hill, plays soccer and has had classes with Hogan. “At least if it was going to happen, he was involved with other consenting adults.”

Ms. Holman almost got it right.  It’s not every other day you see stories about teachers having sex with students, it’s every day, multiple incidents a day.
