Alleged Pedophile Sues Florida Couples Resort for Discrimination

Naples, FL - Timothy Little, a 58-year-old afincionado of boys, has filed suit against Rio Negro Couples Resort in a Florida district court, alleging that his being turned away was a discriminatory act because he sought to reserve a room with a group of young children. Although Little has no police record and no illegal behavior involving children has been witnessed on his behalf, neighbors say that they just get a bad feeling about him.

"He's creepy," remarks Dorothy Jo Benson, a co-resident of the Smokey Crab Mobile Home Park with Little. "We call him 'Creepy Tim.'"

Mr. Little has other thoughts: "I just like hanging out with kids," says the retired plumber, "they are more funner than adults because they don't be mean to you." When questioned whether he felt his behavior was unusual or wrong, Little cited to the recent acquittal of Michael Jackson: "people thought he was weird too," says Little, "and look what happened to him."

Unsure how to respond to such a statement, R. Jefferson Richmond, the Broward County-based counsel for Rio Negro, says that the complaint is completely unfounded. "Mr. Little has to understand that it is a couples resort, and that has been constitutionally upheld in courts of law all over the country as non-discriminatory."

Little says he's not going without a fight and that he'll take it all the way to the Supreme Court if he must. "Some men just want to be boys," claims a melancholy Little, "and I don't see what's wrong with that."
