This is a prime example of media sensationalism and poor research on your part. I suggest you show a reliable source for this claim. If you're doing a report for academic reasons, I would hope the rest of your research is not as poorly done.

There are definite indications MLK, Jr. had extra-marital affairs but there is no indication he had 'procured' women. His private affairs are his business. They mainly became public knowledge because J. Edgar Hoover, then the head of the FBI, a racist, was tailing him constantly for 5 years prior to his passing, and was on a campaign to discredit King, the NAACP and the whole civil rights movement at any and all costs. Furthermore, through Hoover's personal paranoia, he tried to link and defame him with connecting him to a nascent communist movement in USA - more unsubstantiated claptrap.

As for his professional life, I'd be more interested in the fact that he plagiarized large amounts of his doctoral thesis. This fact is no longer conjecture. I'm guessing that his fame is the only reason they didn't take away his Ph.D. posthumously.

My public and professional behavior is quite a bit different then what I do in "private rooms".

I figure it is part of being human.
