POLICE: Anti-LGBTQ Activist Arrested For Filming In Public Men’s Restroom At Florida Pride Festival [VIDEO]

Gulf Coast News reports:

Naples police arrested Andrew Sheets, 61, on Saturday after he was accused of recording people illegally in a bathroom at the Naples Pride festival held at Cambier Park on April 18. Sheets told Gulf Coast News in an interview that the video he posted online led to his arrest.

He claimed he was documenting “grooming” at the event. The footage appears to show Sheets filming himself in a public restroom and then capturing a mirror reflection of other men using the restroom.

“And, so I, at a public park in a public restroom,” Sheets said. “Yes, I did go in. Public bathroom. Nobody was in there. I went to the stall to pee. My intent was not to get [expletive] pics, like they’re trying to say,” Sheets said. “If it was illegal, why [isn’t] YouTube taking it down?” Sheets said.

Naples Pride has has issued a statement:

Naples Pride is aware of the arrest stemming from footage recorded and publicly posted by an anti-LGBTQ+ individual who attended Naples Pridefest ’26 wearing Meta smart glasses capable of recording video.

According to the Naples Police Department arrest report, the individual entered our PrideFest and later uploaded footage online titled “Documenting the grooming churchs at the Naples gay pride trany event, cops had me folowed every where,” which allegedly included two undercover officers in a restroom where there was a reasonable expectation of privacy.

The individual was subsequently charged with video voyeurism and dissemination of video voyeurism material. The irony is difficult to ignore.

A man who publicly accused our community of “grooming” now stands accused of unlawfully recording people in a place where privacy is expected.

Naples Pride remains committed to providing a safe, welcoming environment for all PrideFest attendees and is grateful to the Naples Police Department and Collier County Sheriff’s Office for taking this matter seriously and protecting the privacy and safety of those at the event.

Naples Pride appeared here last year when the Orlando-based Liberty Counsel launched a court battle to shut down the festival’s drag show. At least one man wearing a Jesus shirt was arrested last year while protesting. At this writing, the above-cited and terribly misspelled video indeed remains on YouTube.
