TITUSVILLE - State Rep. Bob Allen told police he was just playing along when a undercover officer suggested in a public restroom that the legislator give him oral sex and $20 because he was intimidated, according to a taped statement and other documents released Thursday.
Allen has already denied any wrongdoing, but the recordings and documents offered new details about what he and police say happened on July 11 inside the men's room at Veterans Memorial Park.
"I certainly wasn't there to have sex with anybody and certainly wasn't there to exchange money for it," said Allen, R-Merritt Island, who was arrested on charges of soliciting prostitution.
"This was a pretty stocky black guy, and there was nothing but other black guys around in the park," Allen, who is white, told police in a taped statement after his arrest. Allen said he feared he "was about to be a statistic" and would have said anything just to get away.

It really is a fascinating coincidence.
paying $20 to GIVE oral sex???? am I missing something here????
Somehow I doubt this guy’s version of events, and his slightly racist sounding comments...........If he was that scared, why did he not just leave?......
No, it’s bass-ackwards sex, so it’s bass-ackwards prostitution.......
Given the choice between performing oral sex and becoming a statistic, I choose statistic.

Allen must have been really scared...
You mean, if you found yourself alone at night in a restroom with a black man, you wouldn't be so scared you'd offer the guy $20 to let you perform oral sex on him?
What's wrong with you !?!
I’ve been some scared in my life, but I’ve never been THAT scared.
PAY $20 for...
How cheap. Negative $20. Prison would be an expensive hobby.
I'm not saying I buy this excuse in the slightest.
My point is that these stings are very timely.
I wonder, is it illegal because money was involved or illegal period?......Any lawyer types out there care to enlighten?..........
I agree. About a year or year and a half ago, there was some lib (can't remember where--maybe digg.com) who had this massive list of Republicans who'd been busted for sex offenses. I'd figured that the list was mostly bogus, so I started googling some of the names to disprove the guy. Imagine my distress when each of the names came back as a legitimate story. A lot of the people were lower-level and local Repub pols, but the number of people on the list would absolutely shock you. I probably looked into ten or so of the names, picking them from different parts of the list.
I'll see if I can find the list, but it's been a while and I don't remember where I saw it.
I’ve NEVER been THAT SCARED!...........
His "explanation" stinks on ice, for a variety of reasons.

So, what reason did he give for being there in the first place? especially given the circumstances and also what time was it?? Looks awful and guilty too. Can’t McCain do any better for a co-chairman of his campaign?
If he was so scared of black men, what was he doing in the park in the first place?
LOL!
Allen said he feared he "was about to be a statistic" and would have said anything just to get away."Do you mind if we dance with your dates?"
Ditto!
My guess is that very likely the State Rep. has “issues” and that there may have been a political motive in going after him.
All that being said, however, doesn’t this sound like entrapment? I mean it was the undercover officer that propositioned the State rep - doesn’t that qualify as entrapment?
Why do gay men feel the need to do this when there’s craigslist?

“he was just playing along”
Yup... Sher I believe that.
Of course, even if it were true, is he the best we can do to run our state?
They have them all the time, not just before elections here in FL.......A former co-worker was caught in one, practically in the same circumstances. An undercover agent, night in a park known to be frequented by homosexuals. He was busted for soliciting sex for money, ie, backwards prostitution. He was offering to GIVE money...........
I'm far too old to have heard of anything like this, anyway---LOL!
The undercover officer simply asked Allen for $20. Allen said he'd give him $20, but only if he dropped his trousers and let Allen perform oral sex on him. That's not entrapment.
I'm sure a competent lawyer will be able to get this thrown out, but his public trust & reputation is gone forever..........
“The scary black man made me do it.” said Representative “Susan Smith” Allen.
McCain better come down here and shut this idiot up soon. The last thing republicans need is some fat closeted homosexual slob using fear of black people as his excuse for deviant behavior. Before he opened his mouth, I did not think very much of this case. Now that this white fool has pulled the race card, I could throw up in his face. But he’d probably like that.
This card carrying member of the “stoopid” party still needs to explain why he was even in the park bathroom in the first place.
Please pardon my rant. This whole situation just makes me sick.
Lame. He should have portrayed this as a free-market issue.

How many Democrats did the lib uncover? Or was it a matter of political smear and blackmail, not grounded on any moral judgement from the reporter?
I can believe that, but why did the undercover guy ask for $20 in the first place? What kind of undercover work is that?
The same kind of undercover work in which female police officers dress in skimpy clothing and stand on street corners, luring, but not entrapping johns.
Hahahaha!
Funny, Anna Kournikova came to me with a crisp $20 last Tuesday - in fact, it happened in a park about 10 miles from here, but I refused her offer, emphasizing that I've trained myself to hold-off from blonde's until the weekend.

A guy I knew in school was a very good looking guy - he used to get involved with every girl the rest of us wanted to date. Movie star looks.
Anyway, he had a job working as a bartender at a nice restaurant that was down the block from a gay bar.
He loved his job except for one thing: almost every night one or two of his customers would offer him cash if he would allow them to do things to him.
He had to turn down $100 bar tips on more than one occasion because accepting the cash as a tip implied that he was willing to play the game.
Odd.... This guy I referred to was a blond, good looking, well built guy and he worked as a BARTENDER after hours at our day jobs!!!!..........hmmmmmmm....
What is wrong with the Republicans in Florida????? They are acting insane. We just went through a nasty election because of a Republican who could not control himself (regardless if it was only e-mails) and now (thank God it is still a year away from the election) we have another Republican having lack of control. His poor wife and daughter. Disgusting...sure he was scare of the person!!! Right....
You have to ask for the money to arrest him on prostitution.
But his explanation reminds me of an old joke...
Three Big Game Hunters were captured by an extremely vicious tribe.
The chieftain, educated enough to have a primitive and demonstrative form of communication gave prisoners a choice: Death, which he illustrated with the sweep of a saber-—or ‘Roo-Roo.’
The first game-hunter, not knowing what ‘roo-roo’ was, chose death. And the chieftain promptly butchered him before everyone’s eyes.
The tribe yelled for more.
The second poaching jackass was given his choice. Seeing his colleague slaughtered like that, he wondered how bad the alternative could be before gambling: “Roo-roo.”
He was promptly bent over and everyone in the tribe who wanted to had at him. It took forever and was terrible, leaving him a broken shell, never to recover to the end of his shattered days.
Yet the crowd yelled for still more.
The chieftain took his time, whipping the suspense to a frenzy, before asking which the third man would choose: Death-—or ‘roo-roo.’
The third man had seen the shocking demise of the first by saber; but he had also seen the slow torture of the second man-—and there was pride to be considered, even in moments such as these.
“Death,” quoth the third poaching jackass.
“Ofay-dokey,” said the chieftain, holding up one finger in time-honored gesture as the crowd went wild, “but first we roo-roo!”
Note to self: avoid Rep. Allen when he’s scared!
actually it seems he will do whatever you want if you scare him...
(McCain is soooooo finishished in FL)
Don't get me wrong, this guy's post was only interested in Republicans who had committed sex offenses. I know that he's not interested in the Democrats who have done the same, and was ignoring them. I'd imagine that there are more Democrats than Republicans who have been busted for sex stuff, but the libs' point (which I think is valid) is that Republicans are pro-family values and should therefore hold themselves to a higher standard in this area or be guilty of hyprocrisy. It's one of the few times libs are right about our side.
No effen imagination: He should have merely said” The bitch set me up”
"Riiiiiight!"
