ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) _ Police in St. George say they've
arrested a mother accused of photographing a man sexually
assaulting her baby boy.

Police spokesman James Schafer said Tuesday the 22-year-old
woman, Alma Vasquez, was jailed on $20,000 bail after her arrest
Monday. She is charged with two second-degree felony counts of
sexual exploitation of a minor. Court records did not list an
attorney for her.

The infant child was put in state custody.

Police arrested 34-year-old Sergio Diaz-Palomino on March 16. He
is charged with two felony counts each of sodomy on a child and
sexual exploitation of a minor. A message left by The Associated
Press for his attorney, Kenneth Combs, was not immediately returned
Wednesday.

Police say a Walgreens drug store technician reported images of
the child on film brought in by Diaz-Palomino.
