Tyler Weisman is considered a crime victim, but getting tortured and robbed while looking for a hooker late Thursday may land him in prison, according to the state Department of Corrections.
Weisman, a 54-year-old registered sexual predator, was beaten about 9:30 p.m. when he was lured into a house on Orlando's west side "with promises of prostitution," according to Orlando police reports.
Convicted last year of molesting an 11-year-old girl in Seminole County, Weisman spent a year in jail and received 20 years of probation, records show.
But on Thursday night, police reports state, the former computer salesman turned down a crack-smoking prostitute's advances but remained at the house on Springdale Road when an ex-convict offered to get him "a younger girl."
The offer turned out to be a ruse.
Albert Brooks, who has served three sentences in state prison, thought his potential client was an undercover police officer, reports stated. He left the room and then returned with an aerosol can and cigarette lighter. Brooks "sprayed the contents of the can while holding a lighter to the fumes creating a sort of flame thrower" and burned the side of Weisman's face to force him to admit he was a cop, reports state.
Weisman managed to escape after getting beaten on the head, being robbed of $75 and losing his hearing aids and eyeglasses, reports stated.

Obama voter.
Now that’s a darn shame. ;)
Happened in Orlando?Sure didn’t sound like a trip to Disneyworld.
Or 24 viewer?
[... Unable to tell police the exact address of the
attack, Weisman led officers back to the house
by describing a “Jesus” sign displayed in front
of the building, reports state. Weisman, who could
not be reached, was treated for his injuries at
Florida Hospital South, reports stated...]
With one sentence (true or not), this article
becomes about malevolent, Jesus freaks who torture
innocent child molesters.
Tortured... with an aerosol can and a cigarette
lighter ... really? More like they wanted to
scare him away. It’s not like he was tied naked
to a chair. He ran off for heaven’s sake.
Doesn't sound very environmentally correct.
There’s a big difference between a “blowtorch” and a can of wd40 with a lighter. Too bad he didn’t have a blowtorch.
Child molesters, crack smoking ho’s and 3 time loser ex-cons getting together for a little fun and/or business. What could possibly go wrong?
Grrrrrrrrrr.....
“a pair of pliers and a blowtorch”
Hilarity ensues.
That guy looks smug enough to be a liberal journalist.
By the way...what, no pliers?
A complete and total failure of the criminal justice system. Everyone involved in prosecuting his case should be fired.
The photo of him is worth a minimum of 20 years in Jail
LOL I’m a long way from f’ing OK.
That would be the “before” picture I do believe.
