UNNAMED GIRL - 13 yo (4/5/2011) - / Charged: Mother; Felicia McClure - Salt Lake County UT

Mother Tries to Sell Daughter's Virginity



A mother could spend her life in jail after allegedly trying to sell her 13-year-old daughter's virginity for $10,000.

Felicia McClure, 32, was charged Tuesday with multiple counts of sexual abuse of a minor and sexual exploitation of a minor. Police said that McClure's boyfriend tipped them off after he found text messages between the woman and the man offering to pay for sex with the girl.

McClure had repeatedly been in touch with the man, whom police have identified only as "Don." The two adults took the girl to a Victoria Secret store in which she modeled thong underwear and bras for Don, according to Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill.

According to court documents McClure admitted to police that she offered to sell her daughter's virginity to him for $10,000.

McClure also admitted to taking pictures of her daughter and selling them to another adult man, identified only as "Will." Two of the photos that McClure allegedly sent show the girl's entire buttocks, according to documents.

According to prosecutors, McClure asked her daughter if she was willing to lose her virginity to Don. The girl initially agreed to her mother's request, but later "told her mother 'no' and that she didn't feel comfortable having sex," said Gill.

News does not identify victims of sexual assault.

Gill said prosecutors had not yet identified Don, the man accused of trying to buy the girl for sex, or Will, the man accused of buying pornographic images of the girl, because "they cannot comment on a pending investigation."

"We're diligently following up on the men. For now we've chosen to go after the mother," he said.

Aggravated sexual abuse of a child, a first degree felony for which McClure is charged on two counts, carries in Utah a maximum sentence of life.

Had the girl been 14 instead of 13 her mother could not be charged with a first degree felony, Gill said.

McClure is currently in the Salt Lake County Jail. Her bail was set at $250,000. She has does not yet have a lawyer.

A Utah woman who conspired to sell her then 13-year-old daughter’s virginity for $10,000 has been sentenced to prison.

The woman, who is unnamed to protect her daughter’s identity, is set to serve anywhere from one to fifteen years in jail.

Last year, she pleaded guilty to the second-degree felony of sexual exploitation of a minor, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Her lawyer said in court that the woman was ‘taking (prescription pills) like candy’ when she tried to pawn her daughter’s virginity to a man known only as ‘Don.’

The paper reports two first-degree felony counts of aggravated sex abuse were thrown out in exchange for her guilty plea.

In court, the mother’s lawyer blamed her behaviour in part on her addiction, but also on a rocky childhood. ‘It was not a pretty picture,’ her lawyer told the court.

‘The dysfunction and chaos of this family is evident.’

The daughter told the court in a letter: ‘Even though she has put me through a lot of stuff, I still love her.’

According to the Tribune, the mother broke down to tears and apologised for what she had done, saying: ‘I’m sorry I hurt her. She’s safe and that’s all that matters.’

The woman's alleged proposal was discovered by her boyfriend, who found a series of text messages discussing the deal on her phone.

The man in question has been identified only as 'Don'.

Salt Lake County prosecutor Sim Gill said the woman had promised 'Don' that her daughter would perform sex acts in exchange for $10,000.

The mother also admitted to taking the girl to a Victoria’s Secret store, where she opened the dressing room door for Don to watch the girl model bras and thong underwear.

The Salt Lake Tribune reported that she is further accused of sending pictures of the girl wearing lingerie to another man in exchange for cash.

The negotiations for the pictures and the sex acts are alleged to have occurred between April 1 and May 18 of last year.
