A Dodge County mother and father have pleaded guilty in connection with charges that they traded sex with their 14-year-old daughter for monthly payments on the family minivan.

Sandra Davis, 37, of Dodge County, pleaded guilty to child molestation in Dodge County Superior Court on Monday and was sentenced to eight years in prison, Oconee Circuit District Attorney Timothy Vaughn said.

She also must serve 12 years on probation.

Although Davis didn’t physically abuse her daughter, she admitted trading sex with her for the van payments, Vaughn said.

The girl’s father, 39-year-old James Clarence Davis, and 67-year-old Robert Wayne Bearden, pleaded guilty to child molestation and were sentenced to 10 years in prison, followed by 10 years on probation, Vaughn said.

Dodge County sheriff’s investigators have said the girl’s parents made her perform “sexual favors” for Bearden, who was manager of Shorty’s Used Cars in Eastman in 2010, so they wouldn’t have to make the $281 payments on their 1998 Dodge Caravan.

Good grief. I you're gonna pimp out your 14-year-old daughter, at least do it for something better than a '98 Dodge minivan.

Hey there, I love my ‘96 Dodge minivan. It only has 99,000 miles, and burns 24 to 28 mpg highway. Hope it lasts forever.

What disgusting people... but on a financial aside it is amazing what people will pay for things... $281 was close to the payment I used to pay on my 2007 Honda Civic.

I have a Nissan van, a Sienna, and it’s a ‘98 w/ 210,000 miles on it and it runs like a charm.

[Future Snake Eater]

Toyota makes the Sienna.

The girl’s father, 39-year-old James Clarence Davis, and 67-year-old Robert Wayne Bearden...

Go figure...

WTH is wrong with people? Godlessness. That’s society’s problem. That and the lack of good old-fashioned butt whoopins.

People are going to jail. Lives are completely ruined. All to keep a 1998 Dodge Caravan? I wonder what higher level of depravity would have ensued if this was over a '98 Chrysler Town & Country?

That’s what I get for posting after I’ve taken the meletonin.
I was thinking about buying a Versa today, maybe that got in my mind! :p)

Would you buy a pre-owned vehicle from "Shorty's Used Cars"?

Depends, I’m sure that in the godly world of Islam this sort of exchange takes place every day and no one bats an eyelash.

Allah ain’t God. Nuf said.

LOL. I first saw “Drudge parents” so took a second look.

[TruthConquers]

That poor girl.

Yet, I did notice that the mom, if you want to call her that, will get two years MORE probation than the MEN!!!! UH??????

[pandoraou812]

Some people should never be allowed to have children.

[Valpal1]

She also got two years less jail time. All got 20 years jail + probation.

Ask yourself: How did the 14-yr old girl learn how to perform these "sexual acts"?

Time for a shower....

I'm certain their credit rating limited their options.

I think the death penalty for this is more appropriate than it is for murder.
