An East Texas woman tried to sell her 8-year-old daughter for sex for $100 to a man in Nebraska using social media, according to Texas news reports.
But the man — identified in court documents as Dustin Leiting — immediately reported her to the Wayne, Nebraska, Police Department, according to court documents cited by KETK-TV and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Leiting and 44-year-old Carrie Sue Kelly of Lone Oak, Texas, had begun communicating on the social media apps Kik and MeetMe on Dec. 19, according to the reports.
After reporting Kelly to police, Leiting allowed undercover officers to use his Kik account to continue the exchanges with her, according to the Longview News-Journal.
Kelly missed an arranged meeting with an officer posing as Lieting on Dec. 28, but Child Protective Services took custody of her children Jan. 4. Police then identified the 8-year-old daughter in two sexually explicit videos on her phone, the News-Journal reported.
