TAMPA - A Tampa man charged with torturing a 10-year-old female relative because she discovered his pornographic movie collection remains jailed this afternoon. No bail has been set.
Authorities learned of the incident through an anonymous tip and police went to the girl's elementary school to interview her Thursday. The school was not named by authorities.
The girl was reluctant to talk about the incident, which happened last week, because she didn't want to get her relative in trouble, said Tampa police spokesman Jim Contento.
Arrested late Thursday afternoon was Moslim Al Assadi, 36, who lived in the 1900 block of Patterson Street. He remained in the Orient Road Jail today, charged with aggravated child abuse, a first-degree misdemeanor.
Tampa police said the girl told them that Al Assadi got mad because she found his collection of adult movies, which consisted of a few tapes in a paper bag.
"She was being punished for going into his personal stuff," Contento said. Al Assadi then instructed the other children to run the water in the bathtub and get something to tie the 10-year-old's hands.
He tied her hands behind her back and forced her into a partially filled bathtub, where he dunked her head under the water several times, "causing her to struggle for breath," said an arrest affidavit.
The girl's siblings witnessed the incident, police said, and recounted the same story to police Thursday.
"Detectives got involved," Contento said. "The conducted some pretty intense interviews with the victim and the siblings to confirm the story."
The 10-year-old told detectives the punishment wasn't that severe, but the witnesses said she turned blue during the incident, Contento said.
Tampa police detectives along with child protection investigators went to the home Thursday and removed the victim and two other children.

Yes—I’m sure peer support for this “man” will be considerable.
Okay, let’s get some clarity. Is porn okay in the Religion of Peace (tm) or not? On one hand we have hordes of raging fundamentalists all mad about American pop culture, and on the other hand I always see these muslim guys in the convenience stores with racks of porn mags back by the cigarettes. What’s up with that?
Strange about 'practicing' Muslims....they love pornography and hate even their own kind.
Yeah, but it’s not porn when a muslim watches it.
Reporter: Is it true that Dinsdale once nailed your head to the floor?
Eric Idle: No! Never! Dinsy was a charming man! He used to buy his mother flowers and that!
Reporter: But the police have film of Dinsdale nailing your head to the floor.
Eric Idle: Oh, Well, yeah. He did do that. But he had to! I mean, he didn't want to -- I had to insist!
He was merely studying the infidels no doubt...
Obama would bow to him if he was wearing a black robe.
Just like the 9/11 crew. Reportedy, they spent the previous evening in a strip joint getting loaded.
They forgot to mention it was gay porn.
So waterboarding is okay for them.
Well, definitely the right religion. But I doubt that this joker donated much to the election campaign. And I know he is too young to have paid Obama’s college tuition.
Clearly! This sounds like “homestyle” waterboarding to me.
What a scumbag. Since he shows such a penchant for water maybe we should get him a little water-boarding treatment and an extended stay at the local crowbar motel.
Nothing unusual. Just the hypocrisy of daily life. The higher your standards the less likely you will live up to them.
Haha Mooselimb al Assadi. Yet another angry mussulmaun.
And hey, Mooselimb, y’never hear of the internet??? Tapes in a paper bag? I mean sheesh, what is this, the 1980s?? I hope they werent Betamax!
The article, as usual, doesn't get around to mentioning the family relationship between the perp and his victim....nor does it mention a mother or a father.
We can also bet that the father is non-existent in the life of this child....and this Muzzie is the usual violent, abusive boyfriend.
Leni
And then he nailed your wife’s head to the floor.
LOL! Thanks for the memories.
Didn’t Dinsdale have an enormous invisible hedgehog named Norman that followed him around?
Cut his head off and let him go
