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.

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?

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!

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

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.

True... but no one solicits a stranger for sex in a public bathroom! Leaving aside the issue of breaking your marriage vows, there's the issue of trusting your body to someone you don't know very well. Was he unsatisfied with the missus at home? There may or may not be an entrapment issue but his behavior was thoughtless, disgusting and reprehensible!

If he was a Democrat the response from his party and the media would be, “nothing to see here, folks, move on...” Barney Frank would be jealous and nothing more would be heard about it.

I can just hear the chorus: he'll announce to the media he discovered he was a Gay American! Maybe he can co-author his next book with McGreevey on how to troll bathrooms for sex and not get caught by the vice cops.

I believed McGreevey resigned after he was outed. However, Allen is unlikely to score a book deal.

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

Exactly. Maybe this guy took one of the "Queer Studies" classes run by DemocRAT voters (who else?) at the university - who knows.

"...poking fun at the left's aways troubled relationship to language -- and with it, reality [excerpt]:

"Homosexuality is a genetically caused condition that renders one incapable of engaging in sexual relations with the opposite sex. Its opposite, heterosexuality, is an arbitrary gender identification caused by cultural conditioning. Similarly, there is no such thing as the homosexual lifestyle, while queer studies departments engage in the study of the homosexual lifestyle." ~ Gagdad

If he was a liberal he could get a job as editor with a large Newspaper and preach to all of us about how stupid our president is and how brilliant Al Gore is. He could become a bigtime columnist. He could write extensively about sex scandals of Republicans.

These idiotic scandals are killing us

The boy scouts are right to keep “homosexuals” out and we should do the same. Anyone running for office as a Republican needs to be given a VERY through background investigation before a dime of cash or support is provided.

Well he shouldn’t have had the chilli!

Actually before everyone freaks out, remember the Duke case. It is possible he is innocence/was a mistake/setup/etc.

He offered an on-duty police officer $20 to let Allen perform oral sex on him. Are you suggesting he really was just intending to offer a blow dry and the cop misunderstoo?

The way I read it, he was asking for the $20 to blow the guy.

I don’t think this was a hit against a political target. Male homosexuals frequently use public restrooms for anonymous sex. It’s disgusting and offensive. Unsuspecting people walk in on these activities and it’s horrifying. So cops are called and this is how they try to clean up the place. Just trying to take back the public restrooms for their intended purpose.

Sick freaks. I don’t understand. Does this sort of thing occur with straight people? The anonymous public sex stuff? If so, where? Meeting in bars and going to a hotel room doesn’t equate.

This is beyond revolting. And yet the homos continue to insist that “it’s just an alternative lifestyle choice”. Obviously there are public health reasons we used to have sodomy laws. What will it take before we return to the days of common sense in dealing with these scum?
