Floridian Republican Bob Allen got off relatively easy yesterday.
The Floridian Representative received 6 months probation and a $250 fine for soliciting a male police officer earlier this year. In addition to the fine, poor Allen must pay the Titusville Police Department $245 for their investigation into his confirmed toilet trolling, attend an HIV awareness class and get an STD test.
Offering a cop $20 and a blowjob apparently indicates Allen’s a dirty birdy.
Things could have been far more grim for Allen. Says the Palm Beach Post:
Allen co-sponsored a bill months before his arrest that would have increased public sex charges from a misdemeanor to a felony. The proposed bill addressed “unnatural and lascivious acts or exposure or exhibition of sexual organs” within 1,000 feet of a park, school or child care facility.
Perhaps the most tragic aspect of his sentencing, however, came when the judge forbade Allen from returning to Space View Park, where the incident took place. Now alientated Allen will never know the joy of retracing his final steps as a respected politicians. Tear, tear.
How about we take this to the next level?

Ah, this only could’ve been a better story if his bill had passed, and he had to confine his trolling to the penitentiary toilets…

Bob Allen reinforces the old stereotype about gay men being sleek, buff, handsome and elegant.
