Bob Allen

Bob Allen is a Republican member of the House of Representatives who has represented Florida's 32nd District (Brevard County - Orange County) since 2000.

According to his website, in 2007 he filed HB27, an act "relating to hurricane preparedness and residential property insurance."

Controversy
In January 2007 Allen co-sponsored a bill that included a provision to increase penalties for public "Lewdness and Indecent Exposure." Central Florida News-13 reported that the bill "would have made it second degree felonies for public exposure and "unnatural and lascivious" acts with another person within 1,000 feet of public parks, as well as other public locations such as schools, child care centers, public beaches and community centers. It also would have made it easier for police to arrest someone for these crimes."

In July 2007 Central Florida News-13 reported that Titusville police arrested Allen at Veteran's Memorial Park after offering a plain clothes police officer $20 "to perform a sex act on the male officer." "Allen was arrested and charged with solicitation for prostitution -- a second degree misdemeanor," it reported.

Allen insisted that he was innocent and that the allegations weren't true. "I am filing a not guilty plea. I am vigorously going to fight this," he said at a media conference.
