Phoenix dad faces charges after leaving 4 kids in hot car for an hour to visit s3x shop



Tuesday, July 29, 2025 - Four young children were left inside a car in hot weather while their father spent nearly an hour inside a Phoenix sex shop, police said. 

Ascencio Largo, 38, was booked on child abuse charges Thursday, July 24, after cops responded to multiple calls of kids left unattended in the vehicle, with the windows rolled up. 

“Officers responded to a parking lot of a business near 24th Street and Madison Street regarding multiple children inside of a vehicle that was not running. When officers arrived, they located multiple children in the car. Officers were able to gain entry into the car and secure the children,” Phoenix Police said. 

The temperature inside the car hit a sizzling 125 degrees, police said. 

The kids - ages 2, 3, 4 and 7-were all showing signs of heat distress, including skin discoloration and profuse sweating, Phoenix Police Sgt. Rob Scherer told Fox 10 Phoenix. 

Police said their internal temperatures were all near 100 degrees. 

They were all removed from the vehicle safely and immediately given water and placed in an air-conditioned police SUV to be brought to a local hospital, the outlet reported. 

After the children were freed from the roasting car, police contacted Largo, but he was taking his time inside The Adult Shoppe, a s£x shop featuring “an adult arcade with communal viewing theaters and private rooms, providing a unique and discreet environment for s£xual exploration.” 

Cops entered the store and “called out many times” with no response from Largo, Maricopa County Commissioner Jane McLaughlin said during his court appearance, calling the incident “shocking.” 

McLaughlin said when he finally emerged, he attempted to pretend it wasn’t his car.
