EASTMAN, Ga. (AP) - Authorities in central Georgia have arrested a couple they say traded sex with their 14-year-old daughter for payments on their minivan.
Dodge County sheriff's Capt. Tony Winborn says the parents were arrested Monday and are in jail awaiting a bond hearing. They face child molestation and pandering charges.
The Associated Press does not identify victims of sexual abuse and is not identifying the parents to protect the teen.
Winborn says 66-year-old Robert Wayne Bearden, who managed a used car dealership, was arrested on charges of child molestation and possession of a firearm by a felon.
Winborn says the couple made their daughter perform sex acts on Bearden in lieu of making payments on their minivan.
Winborn didn't know whether any of the three has a lawyer.
