Episode Details

Former Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts Mike Caruso was arrested on serious child abuse charges, sparking outrage after the governor’s office released an affidavit containing easily identifiable details about the victim—a child under five. Advocates and survivors condemn the disclosure as harmful and revictimizing, arguing it violates Florida’s privacy protections under Marsy’s Law and could deter other victims from speaking out. Caruso denies all allegations, but critics—including journalist Lauren Book—call the move “disgusting” and warn it undermines ethical journalism and victim safety. The case underscores a growing tension between public transparency and protecting vulnerable minors in sexual offense cases.
