I've decided to add an occasional topic here. It seems that Detroit and the area around it has a lock on the bizarre, unfortunate, sick, disgusting and shocking stories. Because of this, I've come up with an idea to highlight the best of the worst that Detroit has to offer. In the first nominated story we find an internet sex case involving a 7 year old behind sold off by her mother. The community of Taylor is located directly beside the airport and the hotel she brought her child to is near where I stay.
This is from the Detroit Free Press
A 33-year-old Taylor woman -- arrested with bags of sex toys and children's outfits that police say she planned to let a man use to sexually abuse her 7-year-old daughter -- was arraigned Sunday on several sex abuse charges.
Wayne County sheriff's deputies arrested the woman about 6:30 p.m. Friday at a Romulus hotel, where officials say the woman brought her daughter to be abused. The prospective abuser, however, was an undercover sheriff's deputy.
"She made it clear that she would see that the child would comply," Sheriff Warren Evans said Sunday.
He said the case was the most disgusting and exploitative he has seen in his 30-plus years of law enforcement.
The woman, whose name isn't being released to protect the identity of the 7-year-old and the woman's four other children, was arraigned on five charges in 34th District Court in Romulus. A not guilty plea was entered on behalf of the woman, who wasn't represented by a lawyer at the arraignment. A $1-million bond was set.
Evans said an undercover deputy with the sheriff's Internet crime unit contacted the woman, portraying himself as a photographer interested in child pornography. The woman told him she was a prostitute, Evans said.
"Even worse than that, she began talking about her children," Evans said.
The deputy had several online conversations with the woman, who indicated that the 7-year-old had been used in sex acts for money before, officials said.
She offered the deputy a menu of options, officials said, ranging from pornographic pictures to having sex with the girl. The woman also offered to perform sex acts alongside her daughter, Evans said.
When the woman arrived at the hotel to book a room, plainclothes deputies arrested her, said John Roach, spokesman for the sheriff's office.
The 7-year-old was turned over to Child Protective Services, as were her siblings--ages 6, 9, 11 and 12. Evans said investigators were trying to determine whether the other children have been offered for sex or molested.
Evans would not say how the deputy came into contact with the woman because, he said, it's part of a larger investigation.
