BRADENTON, Fla., (AP) - A 94-year-old Bradenton man whose arrest for soliciting a prostitute became fodder for late-night comedians won't be prosecuted after all.

A judge tossed out the misdemeanor charge Tuesday, saying Frank Milio was entrapped by an undercover officer before his arrest in November.

The judge said the officer walked to Milio's car without being summoned and eventually got him to agree to pay for oral sex.

His attorney, Donald E. Grieco, said he was happy for Milio, whose arrest had blocked him from getting into an assisted-living facility. Milio suffers from dementia.

Grieco said Milio enjoys flirting with pretty women and never had any intention of paying for sex. But prosecutors argued that he knew exactly what he was doing.

That case should have never made it to the courtroom. Shame on the Deputy that approached Mr. Milio and solicited him. Must have been a really slow night. As far as the prosecutor goes I would like to know where they are from? Maybe there the 94 year olds with dementia are smarter and more alert than here in Florida.

poor man he was dreaming I'm sure he didn't know what was going on, usually at that age old adults think in their minds that they are little kids again.
