A San Diego County sheriff’s deputy is facing a charge of soliciting prostitution, authorities said Wednesday.

Stuart Rea, a member of the department since 1991, is set for arraignment March 20. The city attorney’s office filed a misdemeanor charge after a San Diego Police Department undercover sting.

Rea was put on desk duty after he was cited, authorities said.
