A Hollywood man is behind bars, with bail set at $70,000, after a series of disturbing charges emerged involving the sexual abuse of children and animals. Michael Eisner, age 34, is facing five felony charges that include obscene communication and the use of a computer to seduce, solicit, and lure a child, as well as possession of child sex conduct materials, according to Local10.
The accusations are particularly alarming given Eisner's proximity to several child-centered facilities; he co-owns a house in Hollywood’s Boulevard Heights, a mere stone’s throw from the Apollo Middle and Hollywood Park Elementary schools, as well as a local Boys & Girls Club, as reported by Local10. A Dodge Charger sporting A "Tri County Mopars" sign was spotted parked outside Eisner's residence.
Eisner was taken into custody on Thursday, with prosecutors filing charges the following day at the Central Courthouse. Adding to the digital footprint of Eisner’s life that eventually led to his arrest, social media profiles revealed his membership to the U.A. Pipefitters Local Union #725, displaying photos of the aforementioned Dodge Charger and a Burmese python.
Alongside the felony charges, Eisner is also slapped with a first-degree misdemeanor for allegedly engaging in sexual conduct with an animal. Residents of the community have expressed shock and outrage. "I want him put away, fast," one neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous, told CBS News Miami following the arrest. Another stated, "I knew him when he turned like maybe 10, 12, so I knew him for a while, I never knew that he would be one of those predators."
As Eisner sits in the Broward County main jail, the community grapples with the proximity of potential danger to their children, with one resident, Claudio Silinis, expressing his dismay to CBS News Miami, "The school is right there and always the children walk around here and coming to school and coming out of school so it's really sad to hear that."
