A Miami-Dade man is facing multiple charges after authorities said he was prostituting the mother of his young child.

Officials said an undercover detective had called a number related to a sexually explicit ad to arrange a 30-minute "date" with a woman in exchange for $350.
Casademunt and his girlfriend arrived at a hotel where the girlfriend accepted the payment for the "date," officials said.
After police took Casademunt into custody, it was discovered that the couple's infant child was in a car seat in their vehicle at the hotel, officials said.

Casademunt, of Sweetwater, was booked into the Miami-Dade jail. Attorney information wasn't available.
"Investigations of possible Human Trafficking often lead to some very unusual and very sad situations," Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said in a statement. "Allegedly selling the mother of your child and bringing the child along for the ride is a new low in an area of criminal conduct."
