The New York Post reports that Kylie Ruby Flores sold her child to Trever Harder, a man she met on the Plenty of Fish dating app. The publication reports that Flores was promised a new pair of Nike sneakers, “small amounts” of cash, and a roof over her head in exchange for her daughter.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Washington state, Flores and Harder, who filmed himself sexually assaulting the young girl, entered guilty pleas. “The facts of this case present some of the most egregious sexual abuse of a child one can imagine,” said U.S. Attorney Vanessa Waldref in a statement on Wednesday.
She added, “Today’s sentence is important, but it is equally important to remember that Flores’ sentence will likely be much shorter than the lifelong impact on the child. No sentence can return the child’s innocence, but our community is now safer and stronger.'
