NASTY: Disgusting Mum Sells 12-Year-Old Daughter’s Virginity

A Colombian mum has been sentenced to 22 years in prison after selling her 12-year-old daughter’s virginity for £69.

The Mirror reports, Evil Margarita de Jesus Zapata was arrested after one of her daughters went to report her to authorities, claiming she forced her children into prostitution and also made one of them have an abortion after she got pregnant.

Zapata was jailed by a judge in the Colombian capital, Bogota.

Tito Cornelio Daza was said to have paid 300,000 Colombian Pesos (£69) to Zapata for her daughter’s virginity. He was also jailed for 12 years.

Zapata and Tito were arrested in November 2013 in a case which caused an international outcry. They were found guilty of crimes of Proxenetism and Sexual Exploitation.

Several of Margarita’s daughters are thought to have given evidence against her, although initially after her arrest they failed to support the claims of one of her teenage children who said she had been abused since the age of 12.

The teen, now 17, told the police her mum had also sold her virginity.

”It hurts that a mother would do this. She contacted highly solvent but depraved men so they could have sex with the minors,” police chief Carlos Melendez said.

Just this month, it emerged girls as young as 10 were being sold to tourists who want to take their virginity in some of Colombia’s most famous cities.
