Former U.S. State Department deputy Randall Tobias withdrew Thursday as the commencement speaker for the Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis. Tobias resigned his post at the State Department on April 27 after he was linked to an alleged prostitution ring in Washington.

Tobias told ABC News he used the service for massages but did not engage in sexual activities with the women.

Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard instead will speak to the graduating students May 13, according to Richard C. Schneider, spokesman for Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.

Law school students were notified Thursday morning by e-mail about the change. In the three-paragraph message, IUPUI interim dean Susanah Mead told students that Tobias "called me (Wednesday) to discuss his thoughts about whether his participation could be a distraction, given current events."
