KANSAS CITY, Missouri (AP) -- "Federal prosecutors have unsealed an indictment accusing a man and woman of training the woman's child to be a dominatrix, selling her sexual services and photographing some of the acts.
U.S. Attorney John Wood said the case is unusual in that a parent has been charged with the commercial sex trafficking of his or her own minor child.
Todd B. Barkau, 35, of New York state, and the 44-year-old mother were charged in the seven-count indictment. They once lived together in Blue Springs, Missouri, where the sex business was said to have been run.
"Barkau obtained control of a 12-year-old girl and he groomed, trained and forced her to become a sexual dominatrix," Wood said in Kansas City on Monday..."
Just when you think you have heard it all you read or see something new. Last week I reported on the couple that ran a porn business using three kids 7 to 11 years of age. They had the kids having sex with each other.
Now I see this and I wonder what is next. In this case it seems they did not tell people that the 12 year old girl was a minor. They told people she was 18 or 19 years of age.
In the case of the three little kids the people paying knew they were small kids.
I am not sure what these people will get in jail time but the other people are getting life in jail for their crimes.
