Episode Details

Palm Beach County Clerk Mike Caruso, appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis in 2025, has been arrested and charged with multiple counts of child sex abuse involving a family member under twelve. The alleged abuse reportedly occurred during a family cruise in August 2025. Caruso denies the allegations. DeSantis immediately suspended him from office. Former State Attorney Dave Aronberg noted that while enough evidence exists for arrest, prosecutors still need more to build a case — potentially including cruise records and witness testimony. Caruso remains jailed and is presumed innocent; if convicted on the most serious charges, he could face life in prison. His first court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday at 10 AM.
