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.
Dude has an iron-clad defense, though. Said it’s only abuse if the child is the same sex and he likes women/girls. I really wish I were making that up.
Edit: wow, I actually totally misunderstood his absurd defense. He actually said “sexual deviancy is directed towards one sex rather than two” and since he’s attracted to women (when the victim here was a boy) he can’t possibly be a sex offender. I think we’ve finally found something so far gone that even MAGAts can’t support it.
Hang him
holy shit…
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.
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 ON DIRECTION.

show me the evidence for the left pushing sharia law. show me, or admit you’re fucking wrong.
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.
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?
Yes

I was with you until that last sentence.
Never mind. These political labels are too small for me.

Not that I don’t believe you, but do you have a source for that? It’s so outrageous I need to see it myself.

🤢 That is one of the most disgusting claims I’ve seen. I’m normally against the death penalty but scum like this makes me question my stance.
Yeah, it’s normal to generally be against it but some people just don’t fit into that. It should be reserved for the most evil people.
I mean, he himself called for people like him to face the death penalty. I am anti death penalty, but I am also in favor of medically assisted suicide for those who fully consent, so if he’s opting-in I say let’s do it.
Thanks! Also, gross!
