Police: Fla. mom let son, 7, be abused for $600
Mother and neighbor held without bail after anonymous tip-off to police

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. - A woman confronted a neighbor accused of sexually assaulting her 7-year-old son and threatened to call police, but then accepted $600 in hush money and let the man molest the boy again, authorities said.

The 30-year-old woman was charged Tuesday with capital sexual battery and child abuse. The neighbor, Nicholas Quiles, 48, has been charged with capital sexual battery. Both are being held without bail.

The alleged sexual assaults happened the first two weeks of February, Lt. Jeffrey Harrington said.

The boy told his 11-year-old sister that Quiles did “bad things to him,” the girl told detectives. An anonymous tip led investigators to the neighbor and mother.

The boy, his sister and their toddler brother were removed from their home, Harrington said. There is no evidence so far that the other children were sexually abused, he said.

“There are definitely oddities to this case,” Harrington said. “I hope we never have to investigate anything like this again.”

Perhaps the message to the abused child ought to be 'at least you're not a cheap date'. Gotta stay positive, people.

There is something lower than that. There was that recent story where an 18 month old baby was being used for child porn.

I'm here. I'd like to say I'm shocked, but honestly, nothing shocks me anymore. I did read that S. Carolina is proposing making repeated child rapists eligible for the death penalty. I don't often agree with our neighbors to the south, but I think they're on the right track.

I always wonder, in reading about things like this or other situations, how specifically the events occurred. I mean, it's one thing to read that this happened, but have you ever stopped to think about the fact that a conversation had to take place, and exactly how that confrontation went from "stop abusing my child, I'm calling the police" to "oh, $600, well, sure, go ahead, but just one more time"? Seriously. How the fuck does that happen?

Deconstructing people's decision-making and trying to figure out exactly where things went wrong and how they could have made such a decision is fascinating to me.

It's depressing to think how frequently transactions like this one must take place...and for a lot less than $600. Thailand comes to mind.

not only is it only 300 per "date" but 300 doesn't go very far in NY so that actually is a cheap date

Desperate people do desperate things, and six hundred dollars is a lot of money. Sick, yes, but it ain't hard to imagine.
