The fun’s over in Florida for now. We’ve been enjoying the coverage of the prostitution solicitation trial of State Rep. Bob Allen (R-Merritt Island), in which he was accused of offering to pay an undercover officer $20 to allow him to perform oral sex upon the officer’s male member.

Between blowing kisses to his wife and sporting the “I’m not a sex offender, I’m a racist” defense, the trial’s been a hoot. But now, alas, it’s over and the defendant was found…

Before you answer, let’s hear Allen’s side of things.

State Rep. Bob Allen wasn’t searching for sex when he entered a park bathroom five times in about an hour, he just needed to relieve himself after drinking too much iced tea, his attorney told jurors…

“Unfortunately, nature does take its course,” said Greg Eisenmenger…

Tea, do you hear me? Not even beer, which you might believe someone would pee every 10 minutes. But I love the novel defense offered.

Eisenmenger disputed the officers’ version of events but said that even if jurors believe them, that doesn’t mean Allen committed the crime.

If it involves consenting adults, “there is nothing illegal about walking up to someone in a bathroom and picking them up,” he said.

Now see, that’s a funny thing. Because if the defendant had his way in the legislature, it would not only be a crime, but a righteous, serious one.

The lawmaker actually 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.

So what was Allen up to? Glad you asked.

On the day he was arrested, Allen did chores at home, canceled plans to attend a luncheon and went to the park after dining at a nearby restaurant…

After that, the details are in dispute.

Kavanaugh, fit and young, said the seven-year state house veteran peeked into the handicapped stall when he entered for a paper towel, then went inside to join the officer.

He said Allen asked to go somewhere private, then testified telling the defendant: “I’m looking to get some money. Can you hook me up with $20?”

“Sure, I can do that. But this place is too public,” Allen allegedly said…

Allen stopped as he and Kavanaugh left the restroom and asked if he was a police officer, then motioned to follow, Whitaker, the prosecutor said…

“I don’t know what you’re into,” Allen said.

Kavanaugh asked if Allen wanted oral sex.

“I was thinking you would want one,” Allen said.

“But you’ll still give me the $20 for that, right?” Kavanaugh said.

“I would not argue with that,” Allen answered.

One of the highlights of the trial was the jury’s visit to the actual park restroom in question (road trip!). The other had to be Allen’s star-quality performance.

Allen, who has appeared confident throughout the trial, frequently smiled at jurors and courtroom spectators Wednesday and mouthed, “I love you” to his wife, Beth.

So what do you think? Guilty? Not guilty?

Oh hell yes. Guilty, guilty, guil-TEE.

The jury deliberated three hours and 20 minutes. After jurors filed out, Allen reached back into the gallery to touch his wife’s hand. She sat behind him Friday, as she had all week.
