ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Authorities say a Florida attorney 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 was arrested Sunday and charged with soliciting for prostitution and other counts.
Detectives began investigating Spark last month following a tip that he was soliciting sex from female inmates at the Pinellas County Jail.

The release says 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.
“Spark would set the porn scene by filming the female inmate in her jail uniform and filming her inmate I.D. card,” Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told Bay News 9.
“He would then film the jail surroundings while having (the inmate) narrate her sexual fantasies in the jail before having her perform the sex acts.”

Authorities were prepared when they learned Sparks was preparing to return to the jail earlier this week.
“This time we wired the room with audio and video and caught Spark in the attorney visitation room with (the inmate) as they were about to begin the sex act, and he was fully exposed when detectives entered the room,” Gualtieri told Bay News 9.
Detectives are trying to determine if Spark engaged in similar activity at other jails.
Spark is free on $5,300 bail.
He didn’t reply to an email seeking comment.
