The Florida Bar on Thursday announced the state's Supreme Court has disciplined a former North Miami city attorney who pleaded guilty last year to charges related to having sex with a 16-year-old prostitute.
Barry Kutun, 66, will not be able to practice law until October 2009. Then, his law license will be reinstated but he will be on probation with the court for three more years.
Kutun -- a former state representative and candidate for Miami Beach mayor and Florida governor -- was arrested in 2006 for having consensual sex with an underage prostitute at his mid-Miami Beach condo. Kutun had maintained he thought the girl was an adult.
Kutun was fired from his $170,000-a-year job as North Miami city attorney after prosecutors filed charges in the case.
Kutun accepted an agreement with prosecutors last year in which he pleaded guilty to child abuse in exchange for house arrest and probation but no prison time. A judge withheld adjudication, which means Kutun is not a felon, but he was required to enter a sex-offender treatment program.
Kutun's attorney previously told The Miami Herald his client has no plans to run for public office again.
''His days of service to the community are over,'' attorney Richard Sharpstein said in September.
