Fla. State Representative Accused Of Soliciting Sex In Men's Room

Police: Allen Offered To Perform Act For $20

TITUSVILLE, Fla. -- Florida state Rep. Robert "Bob" Allen, R-Merritt Island, was arrested Wednesday and charged with soliciting an undercover male officer for sex at a park in Central Florida, according to police.

Investigators said Allen was acting suspicious and went in and out of the men's restroom at Veteran's Memorial Park, located on East Broad Street.

Minutes later, authorities said, Allen solicited the male officer inside the restroom, offering to perform oral sex for $20.

Allen was then arrested.

Wednesday night, an attorney for Allen urged the public to remember the lawmaker's years of public service.

"The only comment we have to make is everyone is innocent until proven guilty," the attorney, who did not identify himself, said as he and Allen exited the Brevard County jail in Sharpes just before 10 p.m. Wednesday. "We would hope that everyone takes into consideration Mr. Allen's history of public service (and) that everyone is innocent until proven guilty."

Officers realized he was a public figure after the arrest, a news release said.

Allen, who is from Merritt Island, was booked into the Brevard County Jail Wednesday night.

He later posted $500 bond and was released from the jail.

Allen declined to make a comment in Sharpes but nodded slightly when asked by the assembled media if the incident was a mistake.

Allen, is a former Little League volunteer who also donated time to the Boys and Girls Club, serving on its board of directors.

The Merritt Island resident was born in 1958 and moved to Brevard County in 1964. He attended the University of Central Florida and Florida State University.

He has a wife and a child, according the official Web site of the Florida House of Representatives.

It would take a lot more than $20!........$2000.....maybe.......

[TommyDale]

Another Republican. The Democrats do this on the floor of Congress.

[Paradox]

As long as we are “down” at the moment, lets purge the party of these weirdos.

[Abathar]

Not even for $2000 and someone else’s......

[HotTubDave]

Is he another of the ‘faith and value’ candidates like Vitter?

just what the democrats need, more fodder for their tawdry grist mill.

LOL

[Alter Kaker]

Say what you want about David Vitter, at least he never (as far as anyone knows) had sex with a man in a public park.

So does this guy, because he's on the public's dole, think that he can use any public property as he sees fit?

"Allen was named co-chair of Sen. John McCain's Florida campaign in March."

Whoops

What’s the big deal, I thought the dems said this behavior was normal...just a life style choice.

[LIConFem]

Who in their right mind wants to have sex with a stranger, let alone sex with a stranger in a public toilet??

Pretty depraved, Rep. Allen...

[Red Badger]

[JRochelle]

This guy needs to come out of the closet.

The homo and democrat closet.

A married man with a wife and a child solicits for gay sex... hmmm do we have here a GOP version of Jim McGreevey? You gotta wonder what was in his mind when he solicited a cop for sex!

You sure? There's plenty of additional titillating material right there....

In fairness to soon-to-be-former Representative Allen, I believe the police officer was undercover.

It's not even sex - right, Bubba?

He was an untouchable incumbent. 3 years ago I supported the primary campaign of one of his opponents. After walking door to door all of july,august,september, and november, we got about 1/3 of the vote. The party machine was behind him. I did this because he was a fraud then. Karma’s a great thing. The local paper ( Florida Today - a liberal rag) always disagreed with his stand but always endorsed him. Now I know why. I’m waiting for the audio tape. This POS was always the first to jump on others problems and make political hay out of it. I feel sorry for his flag of convenience wife and step daughter.
