Former Temple all-purpose player Matt Brown was arrested on Tuesday and charged with human trafficking.
Brown, 25, was arrested during a sting operation after he brought three girls, ages 14, 16 and 17, to a Baltimore County hotel for prostitution, police told the Baltimore Sun.
According to the paper, detectives responded to an ad that contained terminology "known to be used by prostitutes." They arranged a meeting with Brown and Anthony Eley, 30. The two men were arrested Tuesday night and the girls were classified as victims of human trafficking.
As of Thursday, Brown was being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center. His bail was set at $75,000.
Brown, who is the son of prominent Baltimore attorney Warren Brown, was a standout for the Temple football team from 2009-2012. After walking on to the team in January 2009, Brown went on to be the 2012 Big East Special Teams Player of the Year and finished second in career all-purpose yardage (5,272), third in rushing touchdowns (22), and fourth in 100-yard rushing performances (10).
Brown, who is 5-foot-5, 165 pounds, was signed as a free agent kick returner by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2013, but released.
