SARASOTA, Fla — Former communications director at New College of Florida arrested for allegedly exposing his sex organs.
Manatee County Sheriff said they arrested Fredrick Piccolo Jr., 47, for exposure of sexual organs. Court records show that Piccolo was arrested in 2024 for the same offense three other times in Sarasota County.
The incidents happened twice at Dillard's and once at the Banana Republic stores in the University Town Center mall in Sarasota.
Piccolo would expose himself to workers while in the fitting rooms of the stores.
Piccolo was the marketing director at New College of Florida, but the college said he is no longer employed with them. He had previously worked for Governor Ron DeSantis in his communications office.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
