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.
