Steff Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Mom Sentenced For Prostituting Daughters POSTED: 1:10 pm EST November 10, 2004 UPDATED: 7:31 am EST November 11, 2004 A 34-year-old woman convicted of prostituting her two teenage daughters was sentenced to three years in state prison Wednesday, according to WKMG-TV in Orlando. Authorities said Carrie Espergen sold her daughters for sex to help pay family bills, according to the report. She pleaded no contest Sept. 28 to felony charges of procuring a minor for prostitution and child abuse and was sentenced on the charges Wednesday, said Linda Pruitt, a spokeswoman for the State Attorney's Office. Espergen will spend three years behind bars and another six years on probation for the crime. Sheriff's investigators said the woman used threats of violence and the loss of things the girls liked to force them to have sex with men for money. The girls told investigators they were taken to homes in DeLand and Crescent City to have sex with men, workers in the area's floral fern industry, for $50 to $65 for each session. The woman's daughters are in Department of Children and Families custody. Espergen is not allowed to contact her daughters, according to the report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I wonder if she received more time for being a pimp or being an unfit mother? :headshake Well, maybe in prison she'll have an opportunity to continue her career as a worker . . .

mreye Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 She could have blamed Reba McEntire: I remember it all very well lookin' back It was the summer I turned eighteen We lived in a one room, rundown shack On the outskirts of New Orleans We didn't have money for food or rent To say the least we were hard pressed Then Mama spent every last penny we had To buy me a dancin' dress Mama washed and combed and curled my hair And she painted my eyes and lips then I stepped into a satin dancin' dress that had a split on the side clean up to my hip It was red velvet trim and it fit me good Standin' back from the lookin' glass There stood a woman where a half gown kid had stood She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck And she kissed my cheek Then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes When she started to speak She looked at a pitiful shack And then she looked at me and took a ragged breath She said your Pa's run off and I'm real sick And the baby's gonna starve to death She handed me a heart shaped locket that said "To thine own self be true" And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across The tow of my high heel shoe It sounded like somebody else that was talkin' Askin' Mama what do I do She said just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy And they'll be nice to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
