A Tampa attorney accused of having sex with female inmates turned himself in Friday at the Orient Road Jail In Hillsborough

UPDATE: Attorney Andrew Spark turned himself in Friday at the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office Orient Road Jail about 8:15 p.m, deputies said.

TAMPA, FL - A Tampa attorney accused of having sex with female inmates and filming the sex acts at the Pinellas County Jail now faces additional charges for a similar incident in the Hillsborough County jail. A warrant was issued Thursday for Andrew B. Spark, 55, on charges of introduction or possession of contraband in a detention facility and solicitation for prostitution in Hillsborough.

On Oct. 13, investigators say Spark engaged in sex with an inmate in the attorney-client privilege visitation room at the Falkenburg Road Jail. Once inside the room, Sparks took pictures of the encounter on an electronic tablet, deputies said. The photos were later discovered as part of the investigation of the same activity at the Pinellas County Jail, according to the sheriff’s office.

A review of the inmates jail calls showed on Oct. 10 Spark and the inmate had a 5 minute and 10 second call in which they discussed Spark depositing $10 in the inmate's account. They then discussed the best time to conduct the meeting so they would not be seen. The inmate in the photos was later identified by her mother, deputies said.

Spark had entered the Falkenburg Road Jail under the guise of official attorney business. No cases were found indicating Spark ever represented the inmate in any court proceedings, deputies said.

The sheriff’s office did not identify the inmate. Sparks is also being investigated by the Florida Bar.

The Pinellas investigation began in November when sheriff's detectives received a tip that Spark was soliciting sex and having sex with female inmates at the Pinellas County Jail. The tipster claimed that Spark was filming the sex acts on his mobile tablet and put money into the inmates' commissary accounts for agreeing to the sex.

Detectives say Spark visited 25-year-old inmate Shauna Boselli on Nov. 25, falsely telling jail officials that he was her attorney. Spark has never represented Boselli but reportedly met Boselli at a pornography convention in Tampa about a year ago and asked to make porn videos of her. The two couldn't agree on money so the videos were never made.

Detectives say Spark told Boselli he met with another female inmate earlier that day, and was producing a pornographic video called "Girls in Jail." He offered to put money in Boselli's commissary account in exchange for her performing oral sex on him. Boselli declined Spark's offer.

However, during their investigation, detectives discovered that Spark met with 28-year-old inmate Antoinette Napolitano Nov. 25. The two previously met three years ago when Napolitano advertised prostitution services on the website, Backpage. The two reportedly had sex in exchange for money on several occasions.

Napolitano was arrested on multiple drug charges on June 7. Although he is not her attorney, Spark visited her 11 times in the Pinellas County Jail and had sex with her at least six times, detectives say.

Detectives subsequently learned that Spark was scheduled to visit Napolitano to film more pornography on Dec. 17 and were able to catch the inmate and the attorney in the attorney visitation room just as they were about to have sex.

Spark was arrested and charged with exposure of sexual organs, introduction/possession of contraband into a county detention facility and soliciting for prostitution. Spark did not speak to detectives and requested an attorney.
