A Jensen Beach man already facing multiple charges of possessing child pornography in Martin County has been indicted on federal charges that he coerced an 8-year-old girl to have sex with him on camera.
Edgardo Sensi, 52, was arrested on 76 counts of possession of child pornography in September after Martin County sheriff’s deputies say they found dozens of images and videos of child pornography at his house.
Among the videos were two which showed Sensi himself having sex with young girls, one under age 12 and the other under 5.
According to the federal indictment released this afternoon, Sensi and another woman, named in the charging documents only as Jane Doe, encouraged a young girl at first to allow them to film her as she was bathing or wearing underwear but eventually filmed her engaging in sexual acts with Sensi.
The abuse, according to the indictment started in 2001 when the victim was 8 and continued through 2004.
“When M.V.#1(the victim) showed any indications of resisting, Doe reassured her that no one would see the video-tape,” federal prosecutors wrote in the indictment a federal grand jury handed down.
Sensi was the vice president of operations for Stuart-based tour operator Big Five Tours and Expeditions at the time of his initial arrest in September.
Sensi was held at the Martin County jail on $2.3 million bail after his September arrest, but he is now in federal custody.

If the evidence is what they say and is captured on videotape, there should not even be an avenue for appeal:
I know some people will think that someone as sick as this can ever be rehabilitated are living in a dream world and we as taxpayers should not have to pay for his food, medical, etc during his incarceration or supposed “mental” treatment which will run into the millions which would be better spent as a donation for abused or homeless kids.
Warm up old sparky, prime the lethal injection, string the gallows or whatever will do the end result of his death but he is no longer needed among the living.
My stomach has turned just thinking of what this sick S.O.B. has done to the innocents.
NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER!!

I agree this scum bucket should be gassed, harrased, injected or whatever it takes to make sure he is gone. These types cannot be fixed.
