‘God Squad’ Lawmaker Found With Prostitute

A state lawmaker who earned a perfect rating from the Christian Coalition of Florida admitted buying sex from prostitutes after being caught with one in his truck in a shopping center parking lot.

Orange County sheriff deputies said Rep. Marvin Couch paid $22 for oral sex around noon Feb. 22.

“I have sinned against my God, my wife, my children and the citizens I represent,” Couch, R-Oviedo, said in a statement released Thursday. “I am truly regretful for the embarrassment and shame this incident has caused them.”

Couch, 42, who is married and has six children, attends prayer meetings in the Capitol with other lawmakers who call themselves the “God Squad.”
