Indiana Woman Accused of Selling Child for Porn

(Hammond, Indiana) A 24-year-old Gary woman, Natisha Hillard, has been accused of "selling her 1½-year-old daughter to a man she met through a dating service for child pornography."

Hillard and co-conspirator Christopher M. Bour, 39, face five child pornography charges delineated in a federal grand jury indictment.

Hillard is charged with selling her daughter to Bour knowing the girl "would be portrayed in a visual depiction assisting another person to engage in sexually explicit conduct" and with permitting the girl to participate in the production of child pornography.

Bour is charged with production of child pornography, purchasing a child for production of child pornography and possession of child pornography. The indictment says he used the toddler to "assist him to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction."

Hillard and Bour were booked into custody without bond.
