Manchester, N.H. (AP) -- A veteran New Hampshire sports reporter has been accused of running a prostitution ring in Massachusetts and New Hampshire and possibly into Canada.
Kevin Provencher pleaded not guilty Wednesday to two counts of deriving support from prostitution.
Authorities say his prostitution ring advertised its services on Craigslist and other Web sites.
They allege he rented a hotel room in Andover, Mass., and locations in New Hampshire where the women would have sex for hire.
The 50-year-old Provencher has been a sport writer with the New Hampshire Union Leader for more than two decades.
He was arrested at his Manchester home early Wednesday and brought to Massachusetts.
He was ordered held on $10,000 cash bail during his arraignment in Lawrence District Court.
Prosecutors say the ring may also have operated in Canada.
