Couple Arrested for Child Porn Possession

A married couple in North Tampa has been arrested for possession of child pornography following a complaint from Florida Hospital.

Maxwell Kwaku Owusu Asubonteng and his wife, Adjoa Frimpo Owusu Asubonteng, of 7016 Santa Ana Drive, Apt. 202 in Tampa, have each been charged with possession of child pornography and two counts of distribution of child pornography. Both are 28 years old.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to the hospital Oct. 25 after someone complained that an employee had child pornography on his cell phone.

Maxwell Asubonteng had a video on his cell phone, which showed an approximately 4-year-old boy and approximately 11-year-old girl engaged in sexual activities, the sheriff’s office said. Asubonteng said he received the video from his wife, showed it to about three co-workers and sent it to other people from his cell phone.

Later, Adjoa Asubonteng gave her cell phone to Hillsborough detectives, who found that she had the same video and had sent it to two other people from her cell phone, according to the sheriff’s office.
