Actor Patrick Boll was arrested Friday for allegedly trying to buy a prostitute 

Gossip Girl actor Patrick Boll was among a group of men arrested at a Florida hotel for allegedly trying to buy a prostitute. 

The married 53-year-old father-of-two, and five other men, were busted at a hotel in Naples on Friday after police said they tried to arrange a meeting with a prostitute, who was really an undercover cop.

Each of the men either texted or called the hooker, Naples Daily News reports, to negotiate a price and arrange for the prostitute to meet them at the hotel.

Boll had allegedly agreed to pay $150 in cash and 'negotiated to have straight sex', according to TMZ. 

Instead Boll, who is married to New York University costume director Therese Bruck, was arrested and booked for soliciting prostitution.

Boll, 53, agreed to pay the prostitute $150 but the hooker was an undercover police officer doing a sting. He was charged with solicitation of prostitution

Boll, who also starred in TV series such as The Good Wife and Law & Order and the film How To Be Single, has already been released from jail after posting his $2,000 bond. 

He's expected to be arraigned in Collier County Court on March 7.

Boll, who resides in New Jersey, was in Florida performing in the play The King & I as Captain Orton and Sir Edward Ramsey. The play ended on Sunday. 

Judge Jay Rosman, who served a chief judge of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit from 2011 to 2015, was also arrested in the undercover sting. 

The Miami Herald reports that the 64-year-old judge allegedly offered to pay $300 to have sex with the prostitute.

Rosman was the only one who resisted arrest, resulting in an additional charge.

The other men arrested in the sting were identified by police as Howard Cornibe, 70; Peter W. Bradshaw, 70; Richard A Cecil, 47; and William B. Darmoh III, 29. 

All six men were charged with solicitation of prostitution.
