Felicia Rea McClure
Felicia McClure, 32, of Salt Lake City, Utah, was charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse of a minor and sexual exploitation of a minor on Tuesday (May 24). It was McClure’s boyfriend that tipped off the police after he found text messages between McClure and a man offering to pay for sex with her 13-year-old daughter.
Apparently McClure had been in touch with the man over a period of time. According to Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill, the two adults took the girl to a Victoria Secret store where she modeled thong underwear and bras for the man police are referring to only as “Don.” According to court documents McClure admitted to police that she offered to sell her daughter’s virginity to him for $10,000.
McClure also admitted to taking pictures of her daughter and selling them to another man, acknowledged as “Will.”
According to prosecutors, when asked if she was willing to lose her virginity to Don the girl initially agreed, but later “told her mother ‘no’ and that she didn’t feel comfortable having sex,” Gill explained.
Prosecutors have not yet identified Don, the man accused of trying to buy the girl for sex, or Will, the man accused of buying pornographic images of the girl. Gill stated, “They cannot comment on a pending investigation…We’re diligently following up on the men. For now we’ve chosen to go after the mother.”
Aggravated sexual abuse of a child is a first degree felony and McClure is charged on two counts which carries a maximum sentence of life in Utah.
McClure is currently in the Salt Lake County Jail with her bail set at $250,000.
