Attorney David Carnright Accused of Raping Woman He Met Outside Miami Bar

By

bar-club-nightlife-274179-300x200Insurance attorney David Carnright is accused of raping a woman he met outside a bar in Miami.

Carnright, 33, was arrested Friday on one count of sexual battery. He remains in jail on $10,000 bond and was ordered to surrender his passport. The press did not name an attorney for him.

According to the arrest report, the alleged sexual battery occurred at around 2:30 a.m. on March 2 outside of Sandbar Sports Grill in Coconut Grove. Carnright reportedly met the victim outside the bar and exchanged phone numbers with her.

The warrant states that the victim wound up inside Carnright’s white BMW and that’s where the sexual battery occurred. Carnright allegedly pulled his pants and underwear down and forced the victim to masturbate him.

He then grabbed the victim’s head and forced her to perform oral sex on him. Afterwards, he raped her without a condom despite her protests, the warrant said.

The report said the victim eventually got out of the vehicle and went back to the bar, where she told a bartender what had happened. The bartender reportedly recognized Carnright’s name because he was a regular at the bar.

The bartender told investigators that she saw Carnright again some months later and he asked her if she knew about what happened between him and the alleged victim. The bartender told him that the victim had told her he had sexually assaulted her and Carnright denied it. He claimed that they just hung out and he gave the victim money, investigators said.

According to the arrest report, the victim also talked to Carnright about the alleged rape incident during a text conversation. She texted him saying that he was “too pushy,” and that she “didn’t want to do that” and she “kept saying it.”

Carnright purportedly replied, “I know Im sooo sprry (sic) ugh,” and “plz don’t be mad,” news sources report.

Carnright was contacted by an investigator on December 6 and was told to respond to the Special Victims Unit office about the incident. Carnright told him that he was traveling but he would be returning on December 11.

He reportedly agreed to contact the office as soon as he returned. However, he never contacted any investigators and several calls to his phone went to voicemail, authorities said. He was finally located and arrested on Friday.

Carnright is an attorney specializing in insurance coverage and defense at Groelle & Salmon in Miami.

Florida Attorney Andrew Spark Arrested for Allegedly Soliciting Sex From Inmates

By

Andrew-Spark-236x300Florida attorney Andrew Spark was arrested on December 17 for allegedly exposing himself and having sex with female inmates at Pinellas County Jail.

Spark, 55, was charged with indecent exposure, soliciting for prostitution, and possession of contraband in a detention facility. He posted bond for all three charges. It is unclear if he has hired an attorney.

According to Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, the alleged solicitations occurred at Pinellas County Jail at 14400 48th Street in Clearwater. Spark allegedly used his position as an attorney to meet with female inmates and paid them to have sex with him while he recorded it on video. Investigators don’t know if Spark’s alleged encounters were sold or posted online.

As an attorney, Spark was reportedly allowed to meet inmates in a private room that had no surveillance cameras or recording equipment. Attorneys are allowed to bring electronic devices like cellphones or tablets to interviews with inmates, Guiltieri said.

“We do extend [attorneys] that privilege so they can be efficient in their representation of their clients,” Gualtieri said. “This is a guy who understood what the privileges were and decided he was going to exploit that and use it to his advantage.”

Detectives launched an undercover operation to capture Spark in the act after they received reports about his alleged actions. An inmate named Shanna Boselli, who was sentenced to 40 years on child porn charges, told investigators that Spark asked her to have sex with him on camera around a year ago, but they were unable to agree on a price.

Boselli began serving her sentence in June and Spark reportedly met her again last month, even though he does not represent her.

“He really duped the system,” Gualtieri told the press in reference to Boselli. “He shouldn’t have had access to her.”

Boselli told investigators that she was surprised to see Spark and that he bragged about meeting inmates and taking videos of them performing oral sex on him in exchange for money in their commissary accounts. Spark’s allegedly told Boselli that he was producing a porn video titled ”Girls in Jail” and offered to deposit money in her commissary account if she had sex with him. Boselli declined his offer.

Detectives discovered that Spark also met with Antoinette Napolitano, who is serving time for multiple drug charges, on the day he met Boselli. He reportedly first met her three years ago through prostitution ads she posted online, but he is not representing her.

Spark purportedly visited Napolitano, 28, again on December 17, and this time investigators bugged their interview room. Spark began the interview by filming Napolitano in her uniform and asked her to talk about her sexual fantasies before she performed sex acts on him. When he exposed himself to her, detectives entered the room and arrested him.

Investigators are reportedly looking into all of Spark’s visits to the prison to find out if he propositioned any other inmates. They are also working to obtain a search warrant for his iPad, which he allegedly used to film the sex acts.
