Solicitation charges dropped against Ohio State football player

Here's what led to the charges being dropped.

In December, Ohio State defensive lineman Adolphus Washington was arrested on solicitation charges related to a prostitution sting set up by the Columbus Police Department. The sting involved an undercover police officer, and Washington allegedly paying $100 after responding to an Internet listing.

The charge caused Washington to miss the Fiesta Bowl against Notre Dame, a game that was supposed to be his last with the program. Washington later pleaded guilty to the charge, which would be dropped after he completed an awareness program. The awareness program, known as "John School" was described as the following by the Columbus Dispatch:

Washington pleaded guilty to the charge on Jan. 19 in Franklin County Municipal Court, under an agreement that it would be dismissed if he completed a program known as "John school" before his sentencing.

...

"John school," operated by the Columbus city attorney's office, teaches men arrested for prostitution about sexually transmitted diseases and about how prostitutes are victimized by the trade.

On Monday, Washington apparently completed that program, meaning the charge against him as been dismissed. Washington will now move on to the NFL Draft where he will likely go in one of the first three rounds.
