A newlywed husband, who solicited sex from a prostitute while he was on honeymoon with his new wife, has been booked on charges of soliciting prostitution.

According to authorities, Mohammed Ahmed, 21, left his new bride in their luxury suite in order to meet up with the hooker he had spotted online, but she turned out to be an undercover cop, the New York Daily News reported.

Ahmed was busted alongside 92 other alleged johns, pimps and hookers as part of the Polk County Sheriff's Office sting.

Sheriff Grady Judd said in a statement that Ahmed and his new wife, who are from Illinois, were on vacation at the Omni Hotel in Champions Gate last week.

Ahmed responded to an ad on Backpage.com and sneaked out to pay for sex.

When he didn't return, his wife contacted cops to report him missing and was told that her husband had been thrown in jail.

He was also allegedly in possession of marijuana.
