A Kentucky Catholic high school principal is on paid leave after being cited for prostitution.

Police cited Dr. Paul Schum, 50, on October 30 after Schum was pulled over by Louisville Metro Police who spotted him in a Portland alley.

Police released a tape in which they can be heard asking Schum if he has any weapons or drugs in the car. They also asked why he was in a part of town known for high crime.

"He could provide no legitimate reason to them for being in the alley. So they presumed that the legitimate reason was for prostitution purposes. Based on his clothing and some other statements he made to them," said LMPD Det. Phil Russell.

According to a police report, Schum was dressed like a woman in leather. He was wearing fishnet stockings and fake breasts.

Schum has taken a personal leave of absence from Bethlehem High School in Bardstown.

He denies the allegations.
