Mother who “sold” teenage daughters for sex to appear in court
– charges to be laid in relation to trafficking in persons
The mother who allegedly sold her two teenaged daughters to men to satisfy those men’s sexual pleasures is expected to be slapped with trafficking-in-persons’ charges, and will be arraigned in court before the end of this week.
She will face charges related to trafficking in persons, since she is said to have taken and invited several men to her home to have sex with her daughters in return for money. This was confirmed by a senior rank in Police ‘C’ Division (East Coast).
It was reported that while the girls’ mother was in Police custody, she revealed the identities of the men who had paid her to have sex with her daughters. Police are still on the hunt for those men she had pointed out.
Guyana Times reported that the two girls had escaped from their home and had gone to the Police station, where they related their ordeal.
A Police source has confirmed that the woman would be present in the same room, looking on as the men engage in sexual activities with her daughters, after which she would collect payment for the activities.
“The girls said (that) whenever guys come in their home for sex, their mother sits there and looks at them… and then they give her some money and then she lets the guys sleep with the children the whole night,” the Police source added.
It was further disclosed that based on the allegations of the teenagers, their mother had been using them as sex slaves for quite some time.
The two teens, aged 13 and 14, were handed over to the Child Care and Protection Agency (CC&PA).
Director of that agency, Ann Greene, has confirmed that the two girls are in the custody of the State, and are receiving the requisite care and medical treatment. She explained that as soon as she had been notified about the matter, she had immediately arranged for the sisters to be transported from that ECD Police station to a safe house.
The two teenagers were medically examined and given the necessary treatment, and are being constantly counselled.
