GOP Rep. Allen Guilty of Sexual Solicitation

VIERA, Fla. -- A jury on Friday convicted state Rep. Bob Allen of soliciting prostitution from an undercover male officer in July.

"I am innocent and I've done nothing wrong," Allen said following the reading of the verdict. "My family, my God and my good constituents know that and we are not going to stop until we get that justice."

Allen faces up to 60 days in county jail and a $500 fine for the second-degree misdemeanor. The Merritt Island Republican was accused of peering over a stall in a men's public park restroom, then agreeing to pay $20 to perform oral sex on Titusville police Officer Danny Kavanaugh.
