Explicit Visit

AUGUST 15--During a video visitation with her jailed boyfriend, a Florida Woman exposed her breasts and masturbated, according to police who arrested her for the alleged lewd display.

According to court records, Danielle Ferrero, 38, traveled Sunday afternoon to the Charlotte County jail for an hour-long virtual visit with inmate Cody Thomas, 25. Ferrero was in the lockup’s Video Visitation Building, while Thomas was elsewhere in the facility.

“The visitation session occurred via internet feed and there was no physical contact between the inmate and the visitor,” cops noted.

During their visit, Ferrero and Thomas “frequently talked in a lewd manner speaking of sex, sexual organs and sexual activities,” according to a police report. Ferrero “frequently flaunted and rubbed her breasts, covered, showing the revealing outfit that she was wearing calling her outfit naughty.”

After Ferrero “mentioned how she repositioned herself and almost had an orgasm,” Thomas “asked Ferrero to have one for her and she began to rock back and forth in her chair, appearing to have an orgasm,” investigators allege.

Near the session’s conclusion, Ferrero exposed her breasts to Thomas, “resulting in the visitation to be cancelled by staff at the visitation center.”

Ferrero and Thomas are pictured in the above mug shots.

At the time of the August 8 incident, Thomas was about a third of the way through a 30-day sentence for possession of drug paraphernalia and driving without a valid license. He was arrested during an April traffic stop while behind the wheel of Ferrero’s car (she was in the passenger seat). After police found a needle containing meth, Thomas reportedly assured Ferrero, “Don’t worry, I told them it all belonged to me.”

Upon arriving Wednesday at Ferrero’s Punta Gorda apartment, cops told her she was being arrested for “exposure of sexual organ in a public place.” Ferrero then declared, “I can not believe that showing Cody my boobs would get me arrested.” While Thomas’s name has been redacted from the police report, TSG has confirmed he was the prisoner with whom Ferrero visited.

Ferrero, who was released on bond Friday, is scheduled for arraignment on September 1.

In addition to the misdemeanor exposure rap, Ferrero is also facing a probation violation count related to her conviction last month for theft. In a plea deal, Ferrero was sentenced on July 21 to three years probation for swiping FedEx packages left outside a Port Charlotte residence.    

Ferrero’s rap sheet includes convictions for battery; criminal mischief; grand theft; public intoxication; drunk driving; resisting; and disorderly conduct. Since she had been convicted in multiple theft cases, Ferrero was charged with a felony for her recent “porch pirate” activity.

Last May, a Florida Woman was arrested on a lewd and lascivious exhibition charge for allegedly exposing herself and masturbating with a sex toy during a video call with her imprisoned boyfriend. Prosecutors subsequently declined to pursue the felony case. (3 pages)
