The Californian says a man was charged with selling his 14-year-old daughter into marriage for "$16,000, 100 cases of beer, several cases of meat, and other items."

 

The police in Greenfield, Calif., say they learned of the alleged crime when the girl's father called to report that 18-year-old Margarito de Jesus Galindo had failed to make payments. Investigators say they have since returned the girl to her family.

 

KSBY-TV reports Galindo is facing statutory rape charges.

 

“We have heard rumors and third-party hearsay of girls as young as 12 years old and younger, and men as old as their 60s, in some of these transactions,” Greenfield police Chief Joe Grebmeier tells The Californian.
