Mother of 12 year old girl turned dominatrix sentenced to 15 years

​Authorities say former Blue Springs man Todd Barkau did some sick, sick things to a 12-year-old girl. The 37-year-old allegedly raped the 12-year-old, trained her to be a dominatrix and prostituted her between January 2002 and February 2005.

That would be shocking enough, but then there's the 12-year-old girl's mother, who allowed Barkau to teach her daughter to be a dominatrix by participating in bondage, domination, sadism and masochism with the girl and then pimping her out to other men. Mom even watched her daughter perform with the men -- and got paid by Barkau. The mother isn't being named to protect the girl's identity.

When the girl turned 14, Barkau advertised her on the Internet as a 19- to 20-year-old dominatrix. They called her Mistress Alisha, a name the mother gave the girl -- it was the mother's name when she was a stripper.

And the work was really dirty.

That's it?!? Five years for every year that poor girl was forced to do such things? I swear reading people being in jail longer for marijuana! What the fuck is wrong with this country?

Poor young lady. :cry:

I hope that young lady gets all the support and help she needs.
