Florida Rep. Allen Caught

(Titusville, Florida) This report makes me want to disinfect my brain.

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.

First of all, there doesn't seem to be any ambiguity about whether Rep. Allen wanted to pitch or catch, but it's not clear whether Allen was paying the undercover officer or asking to be paid.

If Allen paid the officer for the privilege of performing oral sex, it could be viewed as a bribe for the officer's vote. However, if he wanted to be paid to perform the oral sex, then Allen presumably was moonlighting at a part-time job to augment his income. Either way, the guy is a pervert -- and not a very bright one.
