Not the title of a light hearted mystery, a true story from Austin where child porn has unfortunately become commonplace. The story begins with a young Amy Spencer and her cat Sophie moving into a new apartment in a quiet Austin neighborhood. Then Sophie’s keen detective skills lead her to a shocking discovery:

Spencer says she had just moved into her apartment and was trying to find extra space when she and a friend noticed her cat, Sophie, clawing at something on top of the cabinet.

Spencer said she was shocked by what Sophie discovered.

“Sophie was up there, digging around, and I though at first maybe she had poison or a rat trap or something, and so my friend got up there and stuck his hands underneath and pulled out a stack of seven DVDs,” Spencer said.

The DVDs contained video of girls aged 5 to 11 performing sexual acts with adult men.

“It was horrible,” Spencer said. “At first I thought it was just like a home video because there was nothing on it, and then it became apparent within the first seven seconds, actually, that we watched that what it was. I’ve never seen anything like that in my whole life.”

Police, however, said child pornography is not rare in Austin.

The cat’s discovery led to the arrest of 24 year old Luis Jimenez who’s being held on a $40,000 bond which will have to be paid in full before he can make bail, supposedly because of the severity of his crimes though word is Jimenez is presents a serious flight risk. ‘Nuff said.

Thanks to Sophie and her owner Amy this filthy pervert is off the streets. The story is disturbing though because police seem to take for granted that Austin would be lousy with child porn.

It’s almost as if a culture of sexual violence sprung up in Texas overnight.
