Accounting professors can be a strange lot. This is known. Whether they're getting ejected from basketball games, taking off their shirts for money or taking their pants for free, there is no shortage of curious behavior. Then there's the story of Kemp Shiffer, who was a part-time professor at the University of Nevada-Reno and IRS investigator. Prof Shiffer was arrested on August 3rd when he collected $400 from a 18 year-old prostitute:
The woman told police that before she began prostituting for Kemp Shiffer, he made her “try out” for the job by performing multiple sex acts on him, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in Reno Justice Court to support his Aug. 3 arrest. After Shiffer took the money from the 18-year-old Eureka, Calif., woman at the Peppermill Resort Casino Spa just before 10 p.m. Aug. 3, detectives of the regional Street Enforcement Team arrested him. “He spontaneously stated ‘I am not a pimp. I didn’t collect her money as her pimp. I collected it to protect her,’” according to the affidavit filed last week against the 58-year-old.
Apparently this isn't Shiffer's first attempt at "protection" as the Reno Gazette-Journal also reports that he quit the IRS after an investigation into his attempt to use "his authority and his badge to secure women to work as prostitutes for him." The reader who pointed us to the story simply had this to say, "And he was my favorite accounting professor when I was in school… who knew?" Hopefully none of your female classmates.
