Former UI athlete Adara Winder has been charged with misdemeanor prostitution.
Winder, 24, and a 29-year-old probationer exchanged messages on Craigslist regarding an ad soliciting the sale of sex posted by Winder, said Moscow Police Department Captain Roger Lanier.
“A probationer had some stuff on his phone that were exchanges with Ms. Winder,” Lanier said.
Lanier said the search was conducted as a part of the parole process so a warrant was not required. Computer Forensic Detective Eric Kjorness processed the phone, Lanier said.
The probation officer found the exchange last winter and MPD issued a citation May 19, just one week after Winder’s graduation commencement last spring.
According to the Moscow-Pullman Daily News, Winder pleaded not guilty in the Latah County 2nd District Court May 30.
According to the Pullman Radio News, Winder competed in the Big Sky Conference Track and Field Championships last spring, finishing 7th in shot put.
