The teenage prostitute at the heart of a police sex scandal that rocked several police departments in California was arrested and placed on a medical hold, and she managed to video it.

Jasmine Abuslin, who is known as Celeste Guap, was arrested around 7am Sunday by Richmond Police after they received a call of a domestic disturbance.

Once Guap was placed inside the police cruiser, she still had a phone on her and managed to Facebook live at 7:40am.

In the short clip she says 'Help me! This is the idiot … Richmond police department,' before she's heard also directing her supposed boyfriend in the street to call people for her.

Guap claimed to have had sex with dozens of police officers, including some while she was underage. Some officers were charged criminally for their alleged involvement with Guap

The officer that she just captured on Facebook Live walks around to the back of the cruiser to take her phone away.

He is heard saying 'She had a second phone on her.' After he takes it she lets out a blood curdling scream, and shouts 'Why did you take my phone!'

The Richmond Police, one of the departments previously embroiled in the scandal, then posted to Twitter regarding her arrest.

'RPD officers answered a disturbance call from Ms. Jasmin Abuslin at her Richmond home, at 7 am.'

'They met with difficulty sorting out the conflict between she and her boyfriend. Officers placed Ms. Abuslin on an emergency medical evaluation hold because of her words and behavior,' the tweet from the Richmond Police Department account read.

Guap alleged she had sex with dozens of police officers from several departments including Richmond, Oakland, Livermore, Contra Costa County and Alameda County.

Abuslin is the daughter of a police dispatcher and worked as a child prostitute under the street name Celeste Guap

She said some of her sexual encounters with officers happened while she was underage. Several officers were terminated as a result of an investigation, and several were charged criminally.

The scandal first came to light in September 2015 when an Oakland police officer committed suicide and left a note implicating several of his fellow officers.

On Saturday Guap spoke at a rally for sex workers rights , but was not arrested as a result of her speech, according to the sex worker advocacy group Bay Area Pros Support.

'We know that Celeste Guap was picked up by the police this morning,' a representative of Bay Area Pros Support said in a statement to the East Bay Times on Sunday.

'Celeste's lawyer is aware and involved, but we do not 'officially' know where she is. We do not trust them to keep her safe or treat her with respect. The police need to know that the community is watching them. Until she is released all eyes are on them,' the group added.

The shocking allegations against the officers prompted the firing of several from different law enforcement agencies across the Bay Area.

Guap successfully sued the city of Oakland for $1million in 2017.
