interviewed the six-year-old girl, who was in the custody of Nicholas's
parents, and she told them about sexual attacks by three men, as well as
physical abuse.
City police chief Bruce Thomason told the
newspaper that Nicholas had been selling her daughter for various sex
acts to support herself and her drug habit.

Nicolas
was arrested as a fugitive from justice in Georgia and is due to be
extradited to Jacksonville Beach as early as this week. She denies the

I posted this crime with a post about the grandmother denying the mother's role in this crime from the Jacksonville paper. Guess they was deleted. I posted it because it was the mother who was charged with the crime.

---To my knowledge this is the first account that mentions other types of physical abuse in addition to the sex crimes.
My apologies if I erred in my initial judgement.

It reminded me of the little Davis girl who ended up murdered by the man her mom pimped her out to. Think they were the same age.

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. -- A third man has been arrested in connection

Jacksonville Beach mother accused of selling sex with daughter for drugs

March 6, 2012 - 1:16pm
JACKSONVILLE BEACH - Police accused a Jacksonville
Beach mother Monday of repeatedly selling sex with her 6-year-old
daughter for drugs and money, but her mother said the woman was also a
victim of drug dealers.

Dalina J. Nicholas, 35, is being held on a
child-neglect warrant in the investigation, which began in early January
with a tip about the sexual abuse of her child, police said. Nicholas
was arrested in Muscogee County, Ga., as a fugitive from justice and
will be extradited to Jacksonville Beach as early as this week. The
circumstances of how Nicholas was arrested are unknown.

Police also charged two men with capital sexual battery, and at least one other suspect is being sought in the case.

The tip about the abuse came from a homeless man who
flagged down a passing police officer and told him what had been going
on in the home, said Sgt. Mark Evans, the lead detective in the case.
The man said he’d been to the home to use drugs in the past and gave
police information about the child’s abuse.

Police launched an investigation and then sought to
arrest Nicholas after an interview with the girl, who gave them details
of sexual attacks by three men and physical abuse. Nicholas, by that
time, had fled the area. The child and a sibling were in the custody of
Nicholas’ mother and father.

The child was 6 at the time of the allegations and just
turned 7. She remains with her grandparents and is receiving therapy
and other treatment from state child welfare agencies, said John
Harrell, a spokesman with the Department of Children and Families.

Defending Nicholas
Jacksonville
Beach Police Chief Bruce Thomason said Nicholas lived in subsidized
housing in the 400 block of Sixth Street South and supported herself and
a drug habit by selling her daughter for various sex acts. Witnesses
told police drugs were frequently used in the home, where Nicholas let
the homeless and others stay. Neighbors said many different men were
seen coming in and out of the home at all hours of the day and night.

“I can’t think of an adjective that’s bad enough to
describe [the allegations],” Thomason said. “Anyone who would harm a
child is just beneath contempt.”

But Nicholas’ mother, whom the Times-Union is not
naming because she has temporary custody of the girl and a suspect still
is at large, said her daughter and granddaughter were sexually abused
by drug dealers. She said her daughter, whom she described as a
recovering drug addict, did not condone or know about the abuse of her
daughter. She said the child could verify the story.

“These drug dealers kept returning and basically they
took over her home,” the child’s grandmother said. “She was as much a
victim as her daughter was.”

Nicholas also denied the allegations to investigators,
but a child-protection team interview with the victim provided enough
information to issue a warrant.

“It was heartbreaking ... to hear the things that this little girl said had taken place,” Evans said.

‘It’s disturbing’
Quinn M. Brooks,
56, of Jacksonville and John F. Hagans, 47, who is homeless, were
charged last month with sexual battery in the case, police said Monday.

Hagans, also known as Mute, was interviewed by police
in mid-February. He told police he lived with Nicholas and her daughter
in the past, but he denied having any sexual contact with the girl.

Hagans told police there were many people coming and
going at the home and that drugs were frequently used there. Brooks was
arrested last week after a witness identified him as one of the men
involved with the victim.

Carrie Fifield, who lives in a duplex only yards from
Nicholas’ home, said she would periodically see Nicholas, her daughter
and a younger son outside the home. Fifield described the girl as having
a bright personality and had no reason to believe she was in trouble.
But Fifield also began noticing a lot more foot traffic in and out of
the home in the past few months, which left her worried that it might
have been a drug den.

“It’s disturbing,” Fifield said of the charges. “You never know what’s going on next door.”

Harrell said his agency has completed its investigation and continues to work with police.

“This child has obviously been through so much,”
Harrell said. “These are terrible allegations that are of great concern
to us and great concern to the community.”

Court records show that Nicholas was charged in 2002 with possession of marijuana and was fined after pleading guilty.

Records show Hagans has been arrested at least 35 times
in Florida since 1983. His convictions include grand larceny, robbery
and cocaine possession. Brooks has been arrested 10 times, with
convictions for trespassing and dealing in stolen property.

Mother pleads guilty to allowing daughter, 6, to be sexually abused by different men in exchange for drugs and money

By Daily Mail Reporter

A 36-year-old mother faces up to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty
to allowing her daughter, six, to be sexually abused by different men
for drugs and money.

Authorities say Dalina Nicholas, from
Jacksonville Beach, is charged with four counts of child neglect and
faces a minimum of 15 years in prison.

Nicholas agreed to testify against four other people charged in the case. She won't be sentenced until those trials conclude.


Dalina Nicholas, 36, faces a minimum of 15 years in prison and a maximum of
30, after she plead guilty to allowing her daughter, six to be molested
by different men in exchange for sex and money

A charge of battery was dropped against her.

In March 2012 a homeless man flagged down a police officer and told him a child was being molested in a nearby home.

The man said he'd been to the home before to use drugs and had seen several men having sex with the child.

He said the abuse had been ongoing for about two years and he had witnessed Nicholas use drugs.

The man also said he was present once when Nicholas accepted $20 from a man
and told her daughter to get naked and lay on a living room mattress so
the man could have oral sex with her, police said.

The witness, according to police, said the girl had confided in him that she was
being sexually abused and asked him to 'help her make it stop'.

Nicholas' attorney says his client doesn't understand the girl was being abused because of drug and mental health issues.

When a member of the child protection team interviewed the girl, she spoke
of sexual assaults by men and physical abuse, according to The Florida Times Union.

Quinn Brooks, 57, and Ryan Harrover, 34, have been charged with sexual
battery and lewd or lascivious molestation. John Hagans, 48, and Norman
Thompson, 52, have been charged with sexual battery.

The girl was taken into custody and is now in the care of relatives.

Sometimes I have difficulty believing a mother can be so evil towards her own child.
