According to The Associated Press, Jose Caballero, 40, and Elissa Alvarez, 20, were found guilty Monday of "lewd and lascivious exhibition" after witnesses said a 3-year-old saw the pair having sex on a crowded public beach in Bradenton, near Tampa. A video also showed the couple moving "in a sexual manner."

Because Caballero has a criminal record, officials said they will pursue a harsher sentence for him, the Bradenton Herald reports.
