A woman accepted $50 from a West Virginia police chief so he could rape her 17-year-old relative, feds say
By Jonathan Edwards
Today at 6:06 a.m. EDT
In exchange for $50, Kristen Naylor-Legg brought her 17-year-old family member to a community center in June 2020 where a local police chief allegedly raped the girl, federal prosecutors claim.
Naylor-Legg, court documents say, stood by — directing the girl during the alleged rape and providing her with towels to clean up afterward. A West Virginia police chief, who was on duty, according to court documents, allegedly failed to pay the woman the agreed-upon price and left.
On Wednesday, Naylor-Legg, 28, pleaded guilty in a West Virginia federal court to one count of conspiracy to sex traffic a minor. She faces up to life in prison at sentencing, which is scheduled for December. Regardless of how much time she gets behind bars, she will have to register as a sex offender.
Her attorney did not respond to a request for comment.

There's a lot more to the story than is shown in this excerpt.
What can be said about something like this, other than, I hope they give the perps the maximum penalties allowed by the law, and that the young girl gets every bit of counseling she needs to get through this.
The ultimate betrayal by a family member.
