Mexican Police Arrest Taxi Drivers for Showing Porno Films in Cabs

Tuxtla Gutierrez, Mexico - Three taxi drivers were arrested on charges of showing pornographic DVDs in their cabs in the southern Mexican city Tapachula.

The men were arrested Friday after receiving a complaint from a woman who said she was travelling in a taxi with her six-year-old son when the driver put on a pornographic film, Tapachula police spokesman Gerardo Ramirez said.

"I asked the taxi to remove the film and he ignored me. It really bothered me and I asked to get out and went to file a complaint," Edelma Gonzales said.

Ramirez said police were debating whether to fine the drivers for moral turpitude or pass the suspects on to state investigators on charges of child sexual molestation.

Pirated DVDs of pornographic films are sold on the streets across Mexico and are particularly prevalent in Tapachula, a rough border town near Guatemala.
