Girl, 15, Pimped Out on Craigslist

(Vallejo, California) A 37-year-old local mom, Lavern Vaughn, and her 20-year-old son, Lavor Carter, were arrested by FBI agents for allegedly selling a 15-year-old girl for sex. Mother and son have been charged with sex trafficking.

Federal prosecutors said they found 680 postings on Craigslist, where Carter allegedly pimped the 15-year old girl for sex.

"She says, ultimately, she had as many as 1,200 customers for Carter," said Larry Brown, first assistant U.S. Attorney. "When she would talk about wanting to leave he would threaten to kill her and use physical harm."

The federal indictment alleges Carter would whip her with a belt and plastic rod, burn her with a lighter, or strike her. She reportedly tried to leave Carter on multiple occasions, but he told her that if she left, she would not leave alive.

Reportedly, Lavern Vaughn would drive the girl all over Northern Caliifornia to have sex with men, making as much as $300 a day.
