The truly disturbing part is that it was an arrangement the unidentified woman had with her friend Reggie Stafford for at least twenty years. From KanasCity.com:
A 48-year-old Wichita woman is accused of prostituting her 5-year-old daughter, and prosecutors say it wasn’t the first time.
Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston on Friday sought a judge’s permission to introduce testimony from two of the woman’s grown daughters, who said she sold them for sex when they were between the ages of 8 and 14.
When the mother goes on trial, however, the jury will only hear about the 5-year-old. Prosecutors say a man the mother knew for years paid her for sex acts with the child.
Sedgwick County District Judge Greg Waller ruled this week that testimony about the 5-year-old’s older sisters won’t be allowed at trial.
Waller said the stories of the older women didn’t meet the strict guidelines set by the Kansas Supreme Court for introduction of prior bad acts. Prosecutors said they were trying to show a pattern of behavior.
The 48-year-old mother and her friend, Reggie Stafford, 51, are charged with multiple counts of rape, sodomy and aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
The mother, who is not being named to protect the identity of her daughters, is also charged with aggravated child endangerment.
“This is a weird case,” prosecutor Christine Ladner told Waller during Thursday’s hearing.
“The sad facts are that (the mother) was the supplier of sex acts by her daughter to the defendant Stafford,” Ladner said.
The adult daughters told Waller during a pretrial hearing Friday that they didn’t want to testify against their mother.

The key witness in the case is now 7 years old. She testified in a previous hearing that her mother took her to see Stafford on several occasions, where he performed various sex acts with her.
In return, the girl said Stafford gave her mother $6 or $7, which her mother used to buy alcohol and cigarettes.
The mother has claimed that she has a drinking problem but that she never allowed her child to have sex with Stafford.
Stafford has denied having sex with any of the girls when they were underage. Police said he told them he had sex with the middle daughter — the one who denied any involvement with him — after her 18th birthday.
The adult daughters seem to be so damaged that though they turned in the mother to protect their youngest sister they not only waited decades to report the abuse but they were clearly guilted into not testifying against the soulless monster they call a mother. Reggie Stafford though is the real villain, he could have put aside his disgusting perversions to do the right thing and save those kids but for he continued to prey on the daughters of this evil harlot. Both should be executed.
This mother is vile!! The men that raped and sodomized her girls are pigs! Courts need to start letting in other bad acts in a criminal’s trial. It is very relevant. Everything needs to come out to ensure these degenerates get convicted and go away for the rest of their lives!
