The investigator leading the probe into the Secret Service's 2012 prostitution scandal quietly resigned in August after he was implicated in a prostitution entanglement of his own.

A senior administration official confirmed to Fox News that David Nieland was observed entering and leaving a building that was under surveillance as part of a prostitution investigation by sheriff's deputies in Broward County, Fla.

Authorities later interviewed a prostitute who identified Nieland in a photo and said he had paid her for sex.

Nieland resigned after he refused to answer questions from a Department of Homeland Security official about the incident. The circumstances behind Nieland stepping down were first reported by The New York Times.

A spokesman for the DHS's inspector general told the Times he could confirm only that Nieland resigned in August. But he said department officials became aware in early May of "an incident in Florida that involved one of our employees."
