Former WPTV NewsChannel 5 weatherman Robert J. Lopicolas first appearance in court has been delayed until Wednesday morning after being arrested Monday on charges related to unlawful sexual activity with minors he met through Craigslist.
According to the probable cause affidavit, a 15-year-old male met Lopicola through a Craigslist personal ad. Authorities say, the 15-year-old lied about his age and told Lopicola he was 18.
When the teen confronted Lopicola about his age, he responded 14 to 16 years old is perfect baby, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit also states that the teenager spoke with Lopicola about attending high school and told him what grade he was in.
According to authorities, after the teen and Lopicola corresponded on Craigslist, there were text messages and pictures exchanged between them. Deputies say the teenager later met with Lopicola in person and they engaged in sexual acts.
In 2010, Lopicola allegedly placed another personal Craigslist ad stating he was 18 years old and was a male seeking a male. A 15-year-old boy answered Lopicolas ad, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit states the 15-year-old told Lopicola he was 16, but eventually told him his real age. When Lopicola found out the boy was underage, authorities said Lopicola continued a relationship with him.
