Life

Allen studied at Valencia Community College in Orlando , Florida State University, and the University of Central Florida . He is married to Beth Elaine Allen and has one daughter. From January 25, 2000 he was a member of the Florida State Parliament , where he remained until his resignation on November 16, 2007.

On the afternoon of July 11, 2007, Allen was arrested at Veterans Memorial Park , Titusville . He had offered a man whom he thought was a prostitute , on a flap, 20 US dollars (about 14 euros) as payment for oral sex . However, the man turned out to be the African-American plainclothes officer Danny Kavanaugh. Allen then declared his innocence and alleged that he had only offered oral sex to the man because he had felt intimidated by his stature. Allen was found guilty on November 9, 2007. When the verdict was pronounced in Viera on November 16, 2007 , he was sentenced to a fine of $ 250, a six-month suspended sentence and $ 245 compensation to the Titusville Police Department. In addition, he is not allowed to approach the park, has to undergo an HIV test and has to pay for the legal costs. Until his arrest he was one of the campaign managers of presidential candidate John McCain in Florida.

Bob Allen has campaigned for a ban on gay marriage in the Florida Constitution and opposed a law against bullying among gay and lesbian students. In early 2007, Bob Allen had introduced a bill to the Florida House of Representatives. This should punish sex in public places more severely. The bill was rejected. Therefore, according to the still valid old law, all could be sentenced to a maximum of one year in prison.
