Former AD at Midland University Charged with Soliciting Prostitution

midland-university(AP) — A former athletic director at Midland University in Fremont has been arrested on charges of pandering and soliciting prostitution.

33-year-old Jason Dannelly was arrested Tuesday.

A criminal complaint says Dannelly in 2012 threatened a then-18-year-old student. Dannelly is accused of telling her he would protect her from legal trouble if she had sex with him, but also harm her if she told anyone.

In a separate 2012 case, Dannelly is accused of giving a then-20-year-old student $300 to have sexual contact with him. A complaint says Dannelly denies the allegations.

Dannelly is charged with pandering, terroristic threats and solicitation of prostitution. He served as Midland University’s athletic director from August 2011 until his dismissal in December 2012.

Records do not list an attorney.
