FBI agents have thwarted an alleged plan by an Ohio couple to sell a 15-year-old girl in exchange for a packet of cocaine.
Police say Pamela Tilley and Gregory Lowery drove 70 miles from their home to hand the girl over to a drugs dealer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she was destined to become a child prostitute.
"This is the worst type of crime that can be perpetrated on a child, to turn the child into a sex slave," said US attorney Mary Beth Buchanan. "They were selling this child to an adult male in Pittsburgh in exchange for drugs."
Ms Tilley, 45, and Mr Lowery, 44, were arrested after police officers found them asleep with the victim and a 13-year-old girl in a car in Pittsburgh's North Side in the early hours.
They are due to appear in court this morning, and both face up to 30 years in jail if convicted of transporting a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.
Ms Buchanan would not discuss the relationship between the adults and the children, but FBI special agent Donald Kirk Duran said both girls were runaways, the younger from a court-ordered juvenile placement centre in Ohio.
Agent Duran's affidavit said that the adults had taken crack cocaine and alcohol and that Mr Lowery had sex with both girls before the Pittsburgh trip. He had also filmed Ms Tilley and the girl engaging in oral sex. It was Ms Tilley's idea to sell the older girl into prostitution, he said.
"We are trying to determine what happened in the vehicle, whether there were any attempts by the children to get away," Ms Buchanan said.
Ms Tilley and Mr Lowery, who has a long criminal history, are being held at Allegheny county jail, Pennsylvania. Both are unemployed and have court-appointed lawyers. The girls have been placed into foster care.

Re: Couple accused of selling teenager for packet of cocaine
bit of a stupid road to go down counterops with the history of child sex slavery that the muslim world is renown for even Today there are many Muslim Countrys that produce the evil Drugs that are then sold to the Western Drug Barons, and there are also many Muslims that become addicts them selves

I hear you brother.this is the culture of the west,why blame them...
Now I was always surprised to see that the people who hated Islam here had such an evil imagination and I couldn't figure where their inspiration came from.
After I have read this article which I find it quite disgusting, I know where their education come from.

Stop crying.
I've been nice to you...........
Now do me a favour : don't bother me with your crying.
Don't you think that you have used way enough space here in this forum with your ridiculous replies?
They created the rant and rave section for people that had few things to say.
I don't pretend to be anything here and neither insult you on a personal note.
What I despise here is your lack of good communication.
You only swear and have few things to say.
You don't post any article or any video...
How old are you?
What will change in my opinion after I read your insults and all the rude language?
Nothing I guess.
