10-Year-Old Tortured

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A Tampa man is behind bars after police say
he tortured a 10-year-old relative because she found his stash of
pornographic movies.
Tampa Police say they received an anonymous tip that 36-year-old
Moslim Al Assadi tied the girl's hands behind her back and forced
her into a partially filled bathtub where he dunked her head under
water several times. The girl's siblings watched the incident. They
said she turned blue while being dunked in the water.
Tampa police detectives along with child protection
investigators went to the home Thursday and removed the victim and
two other children.
Police say Al Assadi has been investigated on child abuse
allegations two other times, but each time investigators cleared
him of any wrongdoing. He is charged with aggravated child abuse.
