Sentencing Set For Mom In Virginity For Sale Case
A Utah woman who pleaded guilty to reduced sexual exploitation charges for trying to sell her 13-year-old daughter’s virginity is set for a sentencing hearing.
The 33-year-old mother faces up to 30 years in prison at a hearing Monday in Salt Lake City’s 3rd District Court.
Authorities said the woman offered her daughter’s virginity to a man in April in exchange for $10,000. Initially, the girl agreed to the arrangement, but later changed her mind.
Her mother also tried to sell sexually explicit pictures of the girl to another man.
The woman’s boyfriend found text messages about the sale of the girl’s virginity on the woman’s cellphone and contacted police.
The Associated Press has not named mother to avoid identifying her daughter.
The men involved have not been charged.
