June 27, 2016 REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER APPROACHES KIDS USING “PUPPY” PLOY
A registered sex offender is accused of fondling a child and taking photos under her skirt after using a puppy ploy to get her over to his car.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has charged 64-year old Kenneth Allen Osborne of 7763 Peacock Road in Baker with lewd and lascivious molestation, video voyeurism on a victim under 16, and intentionally masturbating in the presence of a victim under 16.
The 11-year-old victim and her 13-year old brother say Osborne showed up at their Baker home June 24th around 8:20 p.m. and asked if they were missing a black and white puppy.

The children say they found all their puppies but one, and Osborne said he had it and would bring it back over. When he returned he convinced them to come over to his SUV to look at and pet a dog he brought with him. The children say Osborne then touched the female on the buttocks and put his hand down his pants and moved it around. They say he also put a camera under the girl’s skirt and she heard two clicks.

The OCSO obtained a search warrant for Osborne’s residence. Inside his vehicle they found a
small camera which showed two attempts to take pictures during the timeframe when the incident took place. The pictures showed the inside crease of the car door and the bottom of the door.
