Secret Service prostitution scandal

The Secret Service announced Apr. 18 that three of its personnel connected to the Colombia prostitute scandal -- two supervisors and one agent -- will leave the agency while eight more remain under investigation over the controversy. The Secret Service prostitution scandal escalated with the disclosure that at least 20 women had been in hotel rooms with U.S. agents and military personnel just before President Barack Obama arrived for a summit with Latin American leaders.
