Palm Beach County Clerk of Court Michael Caruso, a former Republican state legislator who previously backed the death penalty for adults convicted of sexually battering children under 12, was arrested Tuesday on five felony child sex abuse charges.

The 67-year-old married father of seven, who was appointed by Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, faces five felony counts: kidnapping, child molestation, lewd exhibition, luring or enticing a child and child abuse causing mental injury, an arrest affidavit shows.

Investigators in Florida say Caruso violated a child—who is a relative—and allege the abuse occurred multiple times from fall 2024 to August 2025, including on a family cruise, a fishing outing and during a Thanksgiving gathering. The child has been receiving therapeutic services since April 2026, according to the police affidavit.

Its always the ones you most suspect.

Not only a pedophile but also a sexist. But somehow that makes it better in Republican eyes.

    What else can we expect? if you have read The Handmaid's Tale, the authorities there were the most corrupt. Republicans and far right folks want to make USA what it was in The Handmaid's Tale. Wokes too are so bending towards the Islamists that they too will end up making USA a sharia state.

    I never see leftists embrace Sharia-like rules or laws. The only 'fuzzy' thing is headscarves that seem to be understood as both an expression of religion and an instrument of oppression. Besides this contradictory feature I don't see any move towards Islamic rule.

    Do you?

    wow, it's not enough that one party is literally CHOCK FULLA PEDOS, no it's gotta be both somehow, even though the evidence CLEARLY POINTS IN ONE DIRECTION.

    Wait - you're trying to say that the left is actually hard right? Because Sharia is pretty undeniably very conservative. Actually, The Handmaid's Tale fits much more closely with what republicans want. I think maybe you're a bit confused mate.

    maybe I am cuz everything is so confusing and like from what I heard from right wing is that the left deliberately hid the grooming gang cases to appease Islamists and like in UK, it is left that allowed ikhwanis in the British universities. They hate west.

    It's a safe bet that anything you heard from the right is bullshit or warmed-over hasbara.

    I live in the UK. The police used woke as an excuse for their own incompetence in investigating the grooming gangs.

    I know a lot of British Muslims. None are Ikhwaan.

    The only people burning down other people's homes over here are white rightwingers.
