    Florida lawmaker arrested on sex charge

    By: Kathryn Bursch

    Representative Robert “Bob” Allen was arrested Wednesday afternoon and charged with solicitation for prostitution.

    Titusville police say Allen was acting suspiciously at Veteran's Memorial Park by going in and out of the men's restroom. And that's where police say Allen offered to perform a sex act on a male undercover officer for $20.

    As he was being transferred from the police station to the Brevard County jail, Allen told a reporter that the arrest was a “gross mistake”.

    Rep. Robert “Bob” Allen, R-Merritt Island:
    “Very big misunderstanding…that's what the judicial system's for. These guys did their job, but I'm not in any way associated with what they're saying and this is disgusting. ”
    The solicitation for prostitution charge is a second-degree misdemeanor.

    Allen, a Republican, was first elected to the House in 2000. He's married and has a teenaged daughter.
