Natisha Hillard, 27, a mother,sold her four-month-old baby
girl for sex to Christopher Bour, 41, who molested the infant eight time
and used her to make child pornography has been jailed for 24 years.
Bour, who paid
Hillard $500, was jailed for life, plus 55 years in 2014 after admitting to the
horrific abuse.
Hillard, from Gary,
Indiana, admitted selling her infant daughter to be used in child porn and was
in the room during one of the grim encounters.
Photographs and
videos seized by the FBI showed Hillard with her daughter, as well as images of
Hillard's other daughter, who was three years old at the time of the abuse.
Police began
investigating Bour after being alerted by an unnamed masseuse who said
Bour had texted her about his intentions to sexually abuse the four-month-old
child.
One of Bour's
messages read: 'U wanna watch me play with a baby tomorrow a real one.'
Another said: 'I get
a chance once in a while I was just seeing if you would hold the camera.'
The woman told FBI
agents she had seen child porn movies on Bour's laptop during previous visits
to houses he lived in while renovating them. She also said he had expressed
interest in 'animal love'.
An FBI agent assumed
the identity of the masseuse and texted Bour about what he planned to do with
the infant.
Bour responded with
graphic descriptions, said he had done it before and that the mother approved.
FBI agents raided
Bour's home in Hammond, Indiana, and seized his computer.
They found videos and
photographs of people engaging in sex acts with pre-pubescent children,
including images of Bour and young children. Hillard could also be seen in some
of the photographs.
Court records showed
the mother met Bour through an internet dating service.
Bour admitted buying
a child for sex, possessing child pornography three counts of producing child
pornography, CBS Chicago reported in 2014.
His defense team asked
for him to be given the minimum sentence - 30 years - but he was jailed for
life plus another 55 years, to run consecutively.
District court Judge
Rudy Lozano said Bour's crimes were 'horrific' and the evidence was
'disgusting'.
During his sentencing,
attorney Jill Koster said: 'There are some crimes so horrible that the
defendant doesn’t deserve a second chance.'
