HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) - A prostitute turned in a customer after seeing child pornography, including a video of an apparent toddler rape, on the man's home computer, police said.

Detective Carlos Negron said police were contacted by the woman on Tuesday, saying that while working at the man's apartment as a prostitute she saw numerous pictures of children who appeared to be between ages 3 and 16 performing sex.

The woman told police that it was a disturbing video that showed the rape of a younger child, perhaps no older than 2, that caused her to make the call after she left the apartment, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.

Negron said Federico Eduardo Amezaga, 29, let investigators search his apartment, where they found numerous photos and videos of children performing sex acts.

Officers arrested Amezaga on 15 charges of possessing child pornography and took him to the Broward County Jail, where he was being held Friday in lieu of $150,000 bond.

He is being represented by the Broward County public defender's office, which did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

Good for her. Obviously, not morally lost.

Good for her. Obviously, not morally lost.

needs to be rephrased

how about

lost, but not entirely bankrupt

Im always amazed how God uses people for good

I am impressed that she would go to the police, admit her crime, knowing that it is more important to get this scum picked up. That is admirable behavior

I don't condone her life choices, but I'll pass on judging her.

Shows why, when I was a cop, I got along better with hookers than I did with the wusses on the civil service/police oversight commission. Hookers had better morals, and a clearer grasp of economics. Heinlein was right,.. again.

There's a redemption message somewhere in there... :)

"Heinlein was right,.. again."

Worth repeating.

Yep. Hell, I still hope he's really L. Long and is just away exploring for the rest of us.

odds are she was probably abused as a child too and could understand the need to do something about these other child victims. A lady who runs a shelter for women trying to escape prostitution once spoke at my school and said she'd never met a prostitute who had not been sexually abused as a child. Not that that excuses it but it's something to keep in mind.

So, the whore with a heart of gold really does exist.

it sure is

as should everyone - but to make a distinction and claim she is not morally lost whilst selling the goods is hardly the act of a repentant soul

Now - if she ratted the perp out, and asked for forgiveness for her own sins, I think we could with certainty say she is no longer morally lost. Otherwise, she is blind to the log in her own eye

apologies if ive seemed to pick nits here - but I think we need to be clear that an unrepentant sinner IS morally lost, regardless of who they rightly detest

have a great weekend

Man would people crap themselves if that wound up being true.

A prostitute with a heart of gold.

What's that commercial doing up there, especially during a FR fund drive?

[stockpirate]

It is not a moral choice but it is acting out ones childhood that they are only good for sex. And that is all men want from me so I may as well get paid.
