Convicted Sexual Predator Exposed Himself To 10-15 Children In Nine Mile Home Depot, ECSO Says
September 6, 2023
A convicted sexual predator from Cantonment was arrested Saturday after allegedly exposing himself to a group of children attending a craft workshop Saturday at Home Depot on Nine Mile Road.
Lloyd Russell Allen, 74, was charged with exposure of sexual organs second or subsequent offense and being sex offender loitering within 300 feet of children. He remained in the Escambia County Jail Wednesday morning with bond set at $12,500.
According to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, Allen exposed his penis and fondled himself about 20 feet away from 10-15 children ranging in age from 5-12 inside the Home Depot.
The grandfather of one of the children witnessed the incident, grabbed Allen, walked him outside and detained him until deputies arrived. A Home Depot employee told deputies that there were no cameras on the aisle where the incident happened.
According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Allen is a registered sexual predator and was convicted in 2001, 2005, 2014 and 2020 of lewd and lascivious exhibition. All of the victims were under 16-years old.
During a 2013 incident, Allen was wearing transparent shorts that exposed his genitals to a child inside a Gulf Breeze Walmart, according to a Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office news release.
His last known address, according to the FDLE registry, was 1491 Chemstrand Road, Lot 4, in Cantonment. At the time of his arrest, he provided an address of 129 Elm Street in Pensacola.

Sex offenders cannot be rehabilitated it’s the way they’re wired.
The only way to repair them is execution otherwise your child maybe next.
It would be interesting to see what a brain CT/MRI would reveal. “Thank you” to the brave grandfather who took quick action (instead of pulling out his cell phone to capture a viral moment). The judicial system MUST protect our citizens. It is time to closely monitor the judges who preside on this case and remember it come election time!
He has been arrested & convicted FOUR times of exposing himself and fondling his genitals in front of children under the age of 16! He is a very sick man who is unable to control his twisted perversion. I’m certain there are many, many other times over his lifetime when he has done this and it has not been reported, meaning this man is going to continue this behavior until a judge has the courage to put him in prison until he is dead. I would suggest castration however evidence proves that castration, whether chemical or physical, will not stop his compulsion. There is only one solution, lock him up! We incarcerate auto thieves for longer than this man. PLEASE do not suggest mental health counseling. Psychiatrists and psychologist will tell you no amount of therapy will change this behavior or stop his sick obsession. ENOUGH!

Tell your brother in law thank you. I’m the grandfather that saw him doing this and was willing to protect my grandson and any other children that were nearby from this sick pervert.
@ Bob
He would be taken out behind the barn, not in front of the kids
And you don’t think castration necessary? Are we missing something?
He is truly a sick pervert, NOT his 1st offence…
and SHAME ON YOU HOME DEPOT!!!! no security cameras, and you have a group of small children depending on you for safety. You should have extra employees and cameras there to help watch for people like this, thank heavens for the parents that stepped up.
THERE SHOULD BE A PLACE TO PUT KILLERS & SEX OFFENDERS….
MAYBE PRISON ….why is he not housed with a rapist in JAIL.
He is out for the same reasons people that kill others
Are out on bond in Escambia county Fl
Call your local legislators and call the Meatball in the governors mansion.
Maybe they will stop with the self created drama long enough to fix real problems.
@LR
Prison time, sure, but why castration? What would be the point of that?
@Bonnie
Because a kid seeing someone murdered in front of them is much less traumatic than seeing a flasher.
Why was he given a bond amount?! If I had seen him do this in front of children, Mr Smith & Mr Wesson would not allow him to shake it again!(
This piece of trash has four convictions and is walking the streets. Chemical castration as well as prison time should solve this problem. While in prison, he should be held in general population.
The SuperMax in Florence, Colorado is the place for this guy. Concrete and 30 minutes of sky are all you see everyday for life.
Our Florida legislature is too tied up worrying about penguins in a book, bathroom use, and how to spin the atrocities of history in the education system to worry about some old guy who exposes himself occasionally.
If cameras need to be added in this area,
Then add them. Kids and others need protection.
I think it odd there were none.
I totally agree that the nature of this man’s offense is completely and totally egregious. That these children should have to endure such behavior is saddening to say the least. Unfortunately I do know the offender and sadly he was in a horrific accident back before 2001. Prior to this time he had never been suspected of any type of aberrant behavior. After the incident he became a predatory exhibitionist. Understand that I am not trying to excuse his behavior. I believe that he still knows the difference between right and wrong. What I am saying is that there is a psychological illness that has developed in my opinion. Perhaps he should be placed in a psychiatric facility as part of the Jimmy Rice act.
Good God lock him up this time and throw away the key . Scum bag !
Our state legislators make the laws that our LEOs have to follow. Contact your legislators to make changes in the law.
My brother in law was the one that grabbed this guy and told he was under citizens arrest, this man needs to never see the outside of a jail cell, I don’t care how old he is or who’s family he belongs to he is extremely disturbed and these kind of people are almost impossible to rehabilitate. Very sick individual!
They are never rehabilitated.. Even in prison they spread their demons to others. There should be only one solution for this.
Public hanging is the only thing that needs to be done!
No place to put mentally ill anymore but prison.
put this pervert away. problem solved.
Why was this piece of garage on the streets, our flawed system failed us again
Plain and simple-sexual predators can not be cured. For every time this person has been arrested (and then released), I’d bet there were scores of offenses that were never reported. This guy needs to go away, permanently.
Why is he out and about? How many chances does he get to be a predator to our children and society? People who do this on the internet get more time. Enough is enough! Put him Away! Thank goodness for the Grandfather!
It would be the last time he did this cause he would be picking IT up off the floor..
this old guy is SICK! wth makes people think this is okay to do anyway? He needs to be permanently put away in gen pop and let them figure out his issues. Sick…….
Just Plain Out Sick Person
I have 3 beautiful granddaughters and if one of them had to witness Mr Allen shaking his thing, this old grandma would lose it and he would pray the law would come get me off of him.
Sic Sic human being that should not be in public to traumatize children.
Dam dude….. really?
So this is the fifth time? Why is he being let out to do this over and over again?
This one apparently is in desperate need of help !!! If you can’t see the trend that something is wrong then ya can’t see!!!! This one needs help now !!!!!!!
Let’s see what our lazy prosecutors and judges do with this. Sounds like catch and release is a sport to them. Put grandpa away for the rest of his life.
A convicted sexual predator given a bond after exposing himself to 10-15 children. Why is it our judicial system is even allowing these demented, people back into society.?Where is the protection for our children ? these people cannot be fixed and it’s way past time that they all be removed. These parasites cause life altering psychologica and physical l damage to out children’.. it’s time the people push for stronger sentences that will never allow these sexual offenders back out on the streets. Use them as lab rats for all I care. I dare not say where they should be sent
Wow. This guy needs to be on house arrest. What a psycho. Thank God the one grandfather was there, noticed, and grabbed the creep. I am sure this has happened more than twice in 10 years.
Cut em off! Justice system is not working in this perv’s case. Cut em off!
I don’t understand why this man is able to bond out. He obviously is not gonna stop this behavior. I just don’t get it
Why is this man still able to bond out of jail?? Obviously he’s not gonna stop this behavior. I don’t understand how he can continue to walk free.
This guy and the judges who allowed him to commit these acts in 2001, 2005, 2014, and 2020 should all receive the death penalty. These predators will be rightfully punished and removed from society when the judges are held liable for repeat offenses due to light and/or dismissed sentences.
