Italian police on Tuesday
arrested a 31-year-old woman near Salerno on suspicion of
pimping out her 12-year-old daughter to an elderly man for 5-15
euros a time for four months last year, from June till
September. The woman, police said, sometimes phoned the man
pretending to be her daughter by changing her voice and offering
to meet him. The woman is also accused of extorting some 4,000
euros from a second man, 47, with whom she allegedly had paid
sex recently. She allegedly threatened to tell the man's wife
about the sex and the fact that he was the father of a second
daughter of the woman being probed. The 12-year-old daughter has
been taken to a children's shelter and a judge has named an
expert to take care of her.
