Colombian Mother Arrested For Selling Her 12 Daughters Virginity For $200 Each & Pimpin' Them Out

A Colombian mother has been busted pimping out her 12 young daughters after selling their virginities for just $200 each, police said.

Margarita de Jesus Zapata Moreno, 45, was detained in Bogota earlier this week after one of her girls, now 16 and pregnant, contacted police.

The teen was reportedly angry after her mother ordered her to abort her child.

Tito Cornelio Daza, 51, allegedly the baby's father, was also arrested.

Univision reports that Moreno, who has a total of 14 children, would sell their virginities once they turned 12 years old.

She would then allegedly force them to prostitute themselves to pay the bills.

"It hurts that a mother would do this," police Chief Carlos Melendez, investigating the case, told reporters.

"The mother contacted highly solvent but depraved men so they could have sex with the minors when they turned 12," he added.

Moreno, who has denied the allegations, faces 10 years in prison if convicted.

She currently remains at El Buen Pastro prison, while Daza is being held at Modelo Prison.

Both are accused of carnal abuse of a minor under 14, and the enforcement of prostitution.

Moreno's two children not subjected to the sex work, a boy of 11 and a girl of 9, are reportedly in the care of social services.

The daughter who reported her mother is now receiving psychological help from the Colombian Family Welfare Institute.
