The Republican Florida State Representative says he’s not a criminal, a racist, or was trolling for sex.

Embattled state Rep. Bob Allen, who has been vilified by computer bloggers and lampooned on late-night talk shows since his arrest on a charge of soliciting prostitution, is not a criminal or a racist and has no plans to resign, his attorney said Wednesday.

“Based on the police officer’s own report, this case should be dismissed,” said attorney Greg Eisenmenger, adding that he would file a motion for dismissal. “The officer did all the soliciting.”

…Allen, R-Merritt Island, told investigators he was just playing along when the undercover Titusville officer suggested oral sex and $20 because he was intimidated by the “stocky black guy,” according to the statement.

Allen, who is white, also said that there “was nothing but other black guys around in the park” and that he thought he was about to be robbed. At the time, Allen was unaware the other men also were undercover officers.

Why was Allen in the park? His lawyer says he was there planning an unspecified event.
