A longtime police chaplain is facing criminal charges after being accused of paying for sex with a prostitute.
John Robert Fiers, 53, Indianapolis, has been charged in Marion County with two counts of patronizing a prostitute and one count of intimidation, all misdemeanors.
The investigation began on April 22 when an IMPD vice officer conducted a human trafficking and prostitution investigation at a Motel 6 in the 8300 block of Bash Street.
A woman at the motel told police that she knew police were conducting the investigation even before she was arrested on a prostitution charge, court documents said.
She said that the day before a man she knew only as “Bob from Noblesville” showed her his IMPD badge and told her that he was a chaplain.
The woman told police that “Bob” made three appointments with her between April 16 and April 21 and that he paid $120 each time, court documents said. He told her he was a chaplain after having sex during the second appointment.
