Fort Worth officer, accused of soliciting prostitutes and having sex on duty, is fired

A Fort Worth police officer has been fired because of allegations that he solicited prostitutes, engaged in sexual conduct while on duty and messaged obscene photographs of himself to others, often identifying himself as a police officer.

Officer Ryan Cantu, who had been with the Fort Worth Police Department since December 2004, was indefinitely suspended as of 6 p.m. Thursday.

She points out that Cantu was never charged with solicitation of prostitution.
