A Florida attorney allegedly used his position to gain access to a women’s jail and film himself having sex with a female inmate.
A Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office news release says 54-year-old Andrew Spark, an attorney from Tampa and former state attorney general, was arrested Sunday and charged with soliciting for prostitution and other charges.
Detectives say Spark was soliciting female inmates to make a pornography video.
Detectives began investigating Spark last month following a tip that he was soliciting sex from female inmates at the Pinellas County Jail.
According to a press conference held by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Spark had sex with one 28-year-old inmate at least six times since her June arrest on drug charges.
Spark has never represented the woman, but investigators say he began paying her for sex about three years ago.
Detectives are trying to determine if Spark engaged in similar activity at other jails.
Spark is free on $5,300 bail.
