Man, woman indicted in sale of child for sex acts

[mamaste]

The indictment says Barkau began training the girl in 2000 when she was 12, and forced her to engage in sex acts with him and with other men. According to the indictment, he also had the girl watch pornography on the Internet as a teaching tool.
Barkau is accused of creating a business out of the couple's Missouri home when the girl was 14 and marketing her as a 19-to-20-year-old dominatrix on the Internet for about two years.
The mother is charged with encouraging and participating in the venture, the indictment says.
Prosecutors will seek $80,000 the couple is accused of having made through sex trafficking, Wood said.

What the hell is wrong with these people?

[Aella]

This is horrible, of course, but one bit of the story really stuck out at me-a 14-year-old DOMINATRIX?

[Just Kill Me]

Yeah, I know... wtf??? Training her to be a dominatrix. These people are so fucking sick.

[Sweetie]

Sick bastards. They have scared their child for life. How a parent could allow this is just not something I cannot grasp.

"Prosecutors will seek $80,000 the couple is accused of having made through sex trafficking"

I think that should be the least of the prosecutors worries. I think they should focus more on what they did than what they made.

Dumbass, money hungry law.

[Just Kill Me]

The money should be given to the girl; she can build a state of the art dungeon.

The mother is charged with encouraging and participating in the venture ...

How can a mother do that to her child? Sickening.
