Jury Failed to Indict Pike County Mother Accused of Pimping Her Daughter Out
Remember a couple months ago we told you the story about the arrest of a Pike County woman accused of pimping her teenage daughter out for sex to a man in exchange for her bills being paid. Well a Pike County Grand jury came to the conclusion that their wasn't enough evidence to put Angela Kendrick and William Justice on trial.
Kendrick was charged with helping Justice rape her daughter. The lawyer for Justice told the grand jury that his client was in a relationship with the 15 year-old teen and that the sexual encounters were consensual.
In Kentucky, a teenager can't legally consent to sex until the age of 16.
Authorities are looking into the possibility of charging the two with misdemeanor crimes in disctrict court.
