A Cabarrus county judge revoked the probation of a female sex offender and she is now sitting in a jail cell. Amber Rachel Benitez Holt , 33, walked into the Cabarrus county courthouse with her husband and mother holding her arms. She walked out with a courtroom deputy holding her arm to escort her out of the back of the courtroom-to jail.Judge Erwin Spainhour sent her to prison today for producing porn and possessing morphine and oxycodone while on probation. Ms. Holt is a hair stylist by trade- and the mother of three children. She is also a NC registered sex offender. Holt was convicted three years ago of taking indecent liberties with a minor after providing alcohol and having sex with a 15-year-old girl. The judge repeatedly ordered Ms. Holt not to possess pornography as part of her sentencing agreement. But Amber Benitez Holt not only possessed porn, she produced it.
Ms. Holt’s ex-husband, Victor Benitez, told NEWS6 months ago that "she was on the internet for joint sex with her and her husband and another couple.” When News6 first raised questions- probation officers searched the Holts’ home and found hundreds of pornographic images, including pictures of Amber Holt herself. A deputy testified he found sexually explicit chat under her screen name "myraginredhead." Prosecutors also played a home video of couples engaged in various sex acts at a birthday party for Amber Holt’s current husband, Mitchell Holt. While Amber Holt did not appear in the video- evidence showed she was present behind the scenes as it was produced.
Concord police detective Laresa Cook testified that Holt was first charged with having sex with the 15-year-old girl after buying tequila for a group of teens. Cook read aloud a statement from one of the teens who said that during one party, Ms. Holt’s “oldest boy woke up and was crying.” The child would have been less than 10-years-old at the time.
Amber Holt broke down crying as she made a brief statement after six hours of testimony and argument, telling the judge that it is "very hard to see my husband and my personal private things exposed. We have tried to take every precaution. I’m sorry.” But only minutes later Superior Court Judge Erwin Spainhour told a courtroom audience of prosecutors and probation officers, “She has got to pay the price….She has simply got to realize we’re not playing games around here,” the judge said. Spainhour then sentenced Amber Holt to 90 days in prison and three months of intensive supervised probation. She is scheduled to get out of prison three days before Christmas. Source: 6News
