Bob Allen Perverted Justice

"I believe that I'm in Bizarro World."

That's pretty much how Greg Eisenmenger--Bob Allen's defense attorney--summed up his impressions after his client's conviction on one misdemeanor count of solicitation for prostitution.

"We have my client inducing someone by agreeing to someone else's solicitation."

Well Greg, Welcome to Florida, the Sting state.

What's bizarre to the Frog?

Allen can stare down two law enforcement officers, walk inside a bathroom, peer over a handicapped stall door, walk inside to join the officer and respond in kind-- 'Sure I can do that. But this place is too public'--and this predatorial solicitation is not considered sex offense enough to require registration as a Florida sex offender.

But typing words on a keyboard--in Eisenmenger's own words--inducing someone by agreeing to someone else's solicitation--is.

Bi-zarre.

Allen faces up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine when he is sentenced. Under Florida law, the conviction means Allen will be required to undergo testing for sexually transmitted diseases and, if infected, must undergo treatment before being released from any jail, probation or community control sentence.

The prosecution will seek jail time.

Allen should thank his squares of toilet paper that his own push to broaden the scope of the infamous Florida catch-all "Make that a Sex Offense with a Sting" statute Section 800.04 --was flushed down the legislative toilet.

Otherwise, Allen would be mugging "CHEESE" for the FDLE cameras.

Give it a couple of legislative sessions. In the proud home state of Mark Foley, retroactive ex post facto lawmaking in all en vogue.

Until the state decides to make an example of Bob Allen in order to protect the children from his kind lurking in the bathrooms of Florida parks--in this interim period--as the shroud of bleakness shadows the state representative, his life is merely ruined...

...and not over, like William Conradt.

While on the subject of Perverted Justice, take a look-see at the deal Head Perv--Xavier Von Erck--made with the feds.

According to IRS tax documentation...

NBC paid the group $802,520 last year for seven sting operations designed to lure online predators into sexually-suggestive conversations and, ultimately, to NBC's cameras. NBC hired the vigilante group for its controversial To Catch a Predator series and is expected to pay the group an additional $450,000 this year, per the documents, and another $600,000 next year if the network airs all of the episodes it is expected to produce with Perverted Justice.

(...)

Von Erck and his two staff members each earn $120,000 a year. Radar notes, in comparison, that the average salary earned by executive directors of nonprofit organizations in 2005 was less than $100,000. This is the first time that the extent of NBC's financial arrangement with the vigilante group has been made public.

All tax exempt.

NBC has declined to comment.

America. What a country.

Change in Tallahassee
sums up Allen at his finest here. (Don't miss this!)
