Mike Caruso, appointed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as the Palm Beach County clerk of courts, was arrested Tuesday morning for child sexual abuse charges.

The alleged victim was one of his grandchildren, a boy under 12 years old. According to a probable cause affidavit, the alleged abuse began in 2024 and went on until at least 2025. Caruso is charged with five felonies: kidnapping, lewd or lascivious molestation, lewd or lascivious exhibition, luring or enticing a child, and child abuse (mental injury).

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier issued a statement announcing the arrest, with DeSantis suspending Caruso from public office shortly thereafter. Caruso is being held without bail in the Orange County Jail pending an appearance before a judge.

“Early this morning, with substantial assistance from FDLE and local law enforcement, Palm Beach County Clerk of Court Michael Caruso was arrested on charges related to child sexual abuse,” Uthmeier said. “The investigation is ongoing, and we will provide more information to the public at the appropriate time.”

Caruso’s son became aware of the abuse in October last year when he saw his son engaging in sexual activity with his younger brother, the affidavit states. After the father stopped the activity, the boy told him that his grandfather had showered with him on a cruise and performed a sex act. The child later told investigators that Caruso had molested him days before Thanksgiving the previous year.

Upon being confronted by his son, Caruso said he had showered with all of his own children, but not the alleged victim. Caruso asked his son if he had spoken with Caruso’s former wife, whom he called “evil” and said she could have “fabricated the allegations in an effort to poison the child against him,” according to the affidavit.

Caruso was appointed to his position by DeSantis in August last year, and was running for reelection in November before his arrest. He did not have any Republican challengers, and was running uncontested in Tuesday’s primary election. It’s not clear if he’ll be on the general election ballot in three months. DeSantis’s allies and supporters have a history of using the “groomer” slur against their opponents, accusing them of pedophilia. Now, one of his own appointees is facing criminal charges.

Not news.
Also execute all fags already. Holy shit. Why do we let fags roam the Earth alive?

>>1530828
>Not NY Post
So, child predator voters only accept "news" from bootlicker rags. Big suprise.

>>1530828
Good idea, you should lead the way and go ahead and kill yourself first.

>anything from NY Post
Nature abhors a vacuum. The one creating past threads linked to Daily Mail articles must have felt betrayed when even that right-wing rag - just after the 2020 election - referred to Biden as 'The voice of reason and sanity', so either that BS-spamming rightard must have fucked off out of /news/ or is now reduced to scraping the bottom of the barrel for retarded so-called 'news' that isn't: NY Post.
Also, may supporters of the Republican party - that refuses to make child marriages illegal in certain states - such as 1530828 live in interesting times, certainly when the Gang Of Pedophiles and their Pedo-in-Chief Trump are politically castrated in the midterms, and after 2028 when there's a Democrat administration elected and Trump disappears into the distance on 20th January 2029 on that final trip on Marine One, resulting in Total MAGA Death.
Sane people also see 1530828 being a violent conservative. Proof that miggers are nothing more than psychopaths due to an irrational fear of anyone not exactly like them.

>>1530843
He's going to jail immediately after swearing in predasecor. Why do you think TWICE he tried to get criminal immunity?

>>1530825
"close ally"
ya was definitely a democrat doing it again. Remember that time they tried to pretend a democrat hired by the Massachusetts' governor was a republican the moment democrats had insiders killing each other.

Try again. Last I checked it's always Republican.

Even better, its one of those Republicunts who screamed that all pedophiles should be put to death.
Shills will excuse him getting a slap on the wrist because pedophilia isn't really a crime when they're people do it.

as long as he does it to democrat families its fine they'd of imported in rape gangs just like the Uk did to violate us anyways.
>>1530847
obvious democrat falseflag, also its funny how republicans hold the people they capture responsible meanwhile leftists let sex pests go or cover for them.

>>1530828
So you're saying the NYpost needs to be banned along with the rest of the Russia propoganda sites you tried to spam on /news/.
Also Grand Old Pedophiles strike again.

1530853
>fine they'd of
>inb4 "grammar nazi", "context" etc
It would have been fine for 1530853 if they'd have gone to English classes.
As long as Democrats do it to Republicans - the Gang Of Pedophiles that refuse to make child marriages illegal in certain states - that are domestic terrorist rape gangs in America, with no importation of others required.
>>1530847
Obvious Republican denial by esl shill 1530853, the supporter of Republican pedos. Their projection and wrong opinions would be funny if the likes of 1530853 weren't so vile in their defending the Gang Of Pedophiles.

NY Post, Slate, Breitbart, NY Times, any sort of wingnut publication shouldnt be allowed on /news/.

>>1531203
NY Post is the official news of /news though.
>Wingnut
Nothing wrong with NY Post at all.

Any news site 1531216 doesn't like is the official source(s) for /news/.
>Wingnut
Everything's wrong with NY Post.
If other news providers can't be /news/' official sources, neither can NY Post.

>>1531230
/newsers agree that NY Post is the ONLY trusted news source.

Can we end LGBTQ already? This is getting a bit out of hand.
Maybe if we can't find a cure we can find the gay gene or deport them to an island or something.

Can we end rightist pedophilia already? This is getting a bit out of hand.
