A Florida mayor is accused of soliciting sex from a constituent in exchange for speed bumps, according to the Florida Commission on Ethics and local reports.

In a press release on Oct. 24, the commission found that there was probable cause to find that David Stewart, the mayor of Lantana, Florida, "misused his position to attempt to obtain a sexual benefit for himself."

Stewart solicited sex from a constituent "based on an understanding his vote, official action, or judgment would be influenced," the commission said.

Stewart did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but he denied the allegation to The Palm Beach Post. The Florida Commission on Ethics did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

1. Sex in a moving car is tough enough, but while going over speed bumps can be dangerous.

[gratuitous]

8. I once knew a girl whose definition of safe sex was to put the parking brake on

9. HA! But, true story, there was this girl in Queens (it's always Queens)...

whose claim to fame was wrecking a car giving her boyfriend head while she was driving.

5. My town is really not good

I grew up in Lantana. The Good-Ole Boys Club is alive and well in this city. This guy has been re-elected 6 times. There are plenty of other qualified people who live in this city. I wish I lived in City limits once again - I would run

6. Is this (Mayor) a non partisan position?

Curious because I see conservative's jumping all over this yet no party affiliation attached to Stewart. I believe he is a registered Democrat but I could be wrong.

I see he had no opponent in the last "election" so it was an automatic re-appointment.

Thanks.

7. If he was caught this time ...

how many other times did he get away with it in his eighteen years in office?

What a sleaze.
