A couple from north Florida are facing child pornography charges after video shows them molesting a 4 year old girl.
It was found on a cell phone they lost at a Walmart.
The pictures on the phone shows convicted sex offender, Alan Johnson, 33, and his girlfriend, Jennifer Sparks, 37, abusing the girl "in every conceivable way," said Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott.
"My most experienced detectives here, said it’s the worst they have ever seen," he said.
A buyer found the phone in the shopping cart at a Walmart in Cape Coral and turned it in, police said.
Researchers at the segxwal predator unit of the sheriff's department recognized Johnson's phone number because he's a registered sex offender.
Johnson was convicted on child pornography charges in 2003 and was sentenced to more than five years in prison, the news media reported.
In a police search of the house last week it was found that the couple had more images of child pornography and evidence that the two were making videos with a cell phone.
They were charged Wednesday with segxwal assault of a child, promoting segxwal performance of a minor and possession of child pornography.
Investigators found the girl in Polk County and gave her to the Department of Children and Families, according to the news media.
Police were investigating reports that the girl's mother gave her to Johnson and Sparks, according to the news media.
"Literally the two animals are off the streets, a girl will hopefully now be able to rebuild her life," Scott told the news media.

A male nurse at a Los Angeles-area hospital was arrested on Sunday after being caught allegedly having sex with a corpse. Security guards at Sherman Oaks Hospital claim they caught 61-year-old Alejandro Razo of Reseda, a nurse at the facility, in the act of having sex with a female corpse. The guards then confronted the alleged necrophiliac nurse and held him until police arrived. According to police, Razo was arrested on a state Health and Safety Code violation because the body was deceased.
Razo was released on $20,000 bail pending an investigation of the alleged incident, KTLA reports.

"When we are in form and doing well, we can beat anyone.
"We are doing a good job in terms of what you can see on the pitch so we're doing well. The team has great team spirit and I'm confident that the team will finish in the top three."
