Police Arrest Convicted Sex Offender Posing As Model Recruiter

March 26, 2013

A convicted sex offender allegedly posed as a model recruiter to contact underage girls has been arrested for failing to register his email address with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Pensacola Police Detective Chris Wilkinson said  Bret Randall May, 42, had been using the email address bodytalk_ent@yahoo.com. Through the email address, May was in contact with an undercover police officer whom he thought was a 15-year-old female he tried to recruit for the Foxx Model and Talent Agency. Wilkinson said May used the alias “Bret Foxx” and it is believed May had been in contact with underage females through the email address.

May teaches martial arts and was reportedly running a business called Power Up Life Coaching Guidance for Mind, Body and Spirit by Dr. Bret. He listed his name as “Bret Lacoste” on business cards and the email address was powerupcoach@yahoo.com.

In 2006, May was convicted in Mobile and served three years in prison for sexually molesting two 9-year old females and a 14-year-old female. Wilkinson began investigating May in 2011 after the mother of one of the 9-year-old girls contacted him and said he had opened a modeling agency in Pensacola and she was concerned about his contact with children.

Wilkinson said the investigation is continuing and more charges are possible against  May.
In addition to the Pensacola Police Department, the Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office, members of a task from the U.S. Marshal’s Office, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and North Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force participated in the investigation.

Anyone having information regarding May’s activities is asked to contact Detective Chris Wilkinson at (850) 436- 5406.

    We need an island in the middle of nowhere to put ALL of these idiots to fend for themselves. Putting them in prison for life just means the taxpayer pays forever to house and feed them.

    The people of Florida had better start asking why its so easy for freaks convicted in other states (Mobile, Alabama) to freely be able to come into this state?

    Florida has more pathetic excuses for DNA (sex offenders) for no other reason than the weather. There is no fixin this kind of broke. The guy is habitual. He is very much aware of the repercussions of these actions and YET he continues to put his hand in the fire and blame the fire for getting burned. I have no tolerance for these pervs, time to put a bounty on their heads and be done with them.

    If you put a hat on this guy, he kinda looks like the pervert they are looking for for exposing themself in the retail stores. Sounds like he would fit the profile. Hoefully they lock this creep up for good.
