A woman was convicted to a sentence of seventeen and a half year imprisonment for renting her daughter to a pedophile for more than 200 times.
Joe J. Champion who sexually molested the little girl was too sentenced to 15 years imprisonment. Generally, he used to pay $20 to the mother as a price for the girl.
In order to protect the identity of the girl, the Associated Press has not disclosed the identity of the woman.
She appealed, and a panel of judges sent the case back to U.S. District Judge Charles A. Shaw, saying he might have given her a lighter sentence if he had known he was not bound by the guidelines.
Shaw then sentenced the woman to 10 years, saying mental problems and drug addiction had influenced her behavior.
The judge also noted that she had taken parenting classes and had vocational training while in prison.
