PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - A man who acts as a mascot for the New England Patriots is among 14 people who have been arrested for prostitution-related crimes in Rhode Island since a new law went into effect that banned indoor prostitution.

The bill signed into law in November made prostitution a misdemeanor crime regardless of where it occurs. Previously, indoor prostitution was allowed because of a legal loophole.

State Police say Robert Sormanti of Warwick was among those arrested in an undercover sting at a hotel. The Providence Journal reports Sormanti is among the team's mascots.

The Patriots said in a statement that multiple people wear the mascot costume and that the "individual in question" has been suspended.

A phone message left at Sormanti's home Friday evening was not immediately returned.

:o :rofl:

That's not fair. What you do on your time should be yours and yours alone - it should have nothing to do with your employment.

I hope he at least took the costume off...

Me, too!! :eek: :lol:

I don't think I have seen that mascot close up before. That is a creepy looking face.

I wonder where the San Diego Chicken was during time?
