A Florida lawyer convicted in 2019 on charges that he was using female clients in two county jails to make pornographic films has been disbarred, the state bar announced last week.
Andrew Bennett Spark, 58, formerly of Pompano Beach,
was arrested Dec. 17, 2017, and charged with exposing himself, with introducing contraband into the county jails and with soliciting for prostitution.
He pleaded guilty two years later to introducing contraband into the jails in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties and to soliciting for prostitution in the Pinellas County Jail.
Spark, who was sentenced to probation in both cases, now lives in Flushing, New York. According to state records, he is a licensed and registered attorney there.
His disbarment is retroactive to July 15, 2019, when he was suspended for the felony convictions of introducing contraband into the jails.
Court records show that Spark went to visit with a woman Nov. 25, 2017, in the Pinellas County Jail. The woman had not requested a visit with him, and she was represented by a different lawyer.
During this visit and all visits with women connected to the case, Spark used his Florida Bar identification card in order to be allowed to meet with the inmates.
“He really duped the system because he shouldn’t have access to her,” Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri
said at the time of Spark’s 2017 arrest. “He wasn’t her lawyer; he wasn’t representing her. But as an attorney, he’s given the courtesy of going into the jail to meet with clients.”
A report from a referee overseeing the disbarment proceedings lays out the facts of what took place.
“(Spark) requested to visit with the inmate, whom he knew to be an adult film actress and whose arrest and conviction was widely publicized,”
the report states.
The Miami Herald identified the woman as Shauna Boselli, who co-produced and starred in adult films produced by her husband, Richmond McDonald. At the time of her visit from Spark, the 25-year-old Boselli
had just been sentenced to 40 years in federal prison for enticing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct.

Spark had previously met Boselli and McDonald at a porn convention,
according to the referee’s report. During his visit with Boselli, he admitted that he could not really help her with her case but asked if she would be interested in sex.
“(Spark) stated he would video record and subsequently publish the video of the sexual acts in exchange for putting money in her jail account,”
the report states.
The former attorney told Boselli he had similar agreements with other inmates, including one he met with that same day, and gave her his contact information.
Boselli later told her family about the unsolicited visit, and her famil
