HONOLULU (AP) – A close friend of President Barack Obama has pleaded no contest to soliciting a prostitute in Hawaii.
An attorney for Robert "Bobby" Titcomb entered the plea Monday. Titcomb did not appear in the Honolulu courtroom.
Attorney William Harrison says Titcomb doesn’t fully agree with the facts of the case but wants to take responsibility.
The judge granted Harrison’s request for a deferral. That means the case will be dismissed in six months if Titcomb stays out of trouble. He must also pay a $500 fine.
Honolulu police arrested the 49-year-old Titcomb and three other men during an undercover sting operation on April 4.
Obama and Titcomb have spent time together during the president’s vacations in Hawaii.
