According to Melbourne police, the boyfriend took several photos of his girlfriend's daughter over the last several months while the girl posed in a provocative and sexual manner.

The girl posed nude during some of the photo shoots, said police, who added that she also performed a sex act during one of the sessions.

Melbourne police said the girl's mother allowed and encouraged her boyfriend to take the photos because her daughter aspired to become a Playboy model.

The couple was arrested on charges of lewd and lascivious conduct and sexual performance by a child. They were booked into the Brevard County jail and may face more charges, including child pornography.
