A Dodge County mother and father have pleaded guilty in connection with charges that they traded sex with their 14-year-old daughter for monthly payments on the family minivan.

Sandra Davis, 37, of Dodge County, pleaded guilty to child molestation in Dodge County Superior Court on Monday and was sentenced to eight years in prison, Oconee Circuit District Attorney Timothy Vaughn said.

She also must serve 12 years on probation.

Although Davis didn’t physically abuse her daughter, she admitted trading sex with her for the van payments, Vaughn said.

The girl’s father, 39-year-old James Clarence Davis, and 67-year-old Robert Wayne Bearden, pleaded guilty to child molestation and were sentenced to 10 years in prison, followed by 10 years on probation, Vaughn said.

Dodge County sheriff’s investigators have said the girl’s parents made her perform “sexual favors” for Bearden, who was manager of Shorty’s Used Cars in Eastman in 2010, so they wouldn’t have to make the $281 payments on their 1998 Dodge Caravan.

Folks. There is a 1998 Dodge Caravan for sale currently at Shorty's Quick Stop Used Cars. I wonder if it is the repossessed vehicle in question? Only $2995 No Money Down!

Just sickening & I wonder if there are more children. Toss them in general prison pop & let the inmates have time with them.

I can see why a guy named Shorty was looking for certain favors in the first place.

Crazy eyes.

“What disgusting people... but on a financial aside it is amazing what people will pay for things... $281 was close to the payment I used to pay on my 2007 Honda Civic.”

This is one serious, sickening white trash story.

Loan sharks would be out of business if it wasn’t for these white trash morons.

[Bullish]

They don’t call ‘em white trash for nuthin’.

[Bullish]

I wonder what he would have charged for a little maintenance on said minivan?

[Windflier]

Death penalty...

[Lazlo in PA]

I was actually checking Shorty's website for the sign out front that says "Easy Terms". That could have been the whole problem here.

My wife and I had a 96 Voyager with a 3.3 litre engine that we put 385,000 miles on before replacing it.

Some crimes call for a tall tree and a short rope.

[dixiechick2000]

At the very least...

[Right Wing Assault]

at least do it for something better than a '98 Dodge minivan

I think they were doing it for the $281.

[Right Wing Assault]

We had a 96 also. Ran it 13 years. Took all the kids off to college and back with it.

A tow truck towing a Volvo rear ended me at a light and totaled it. It was still in great shape at 13. Loved that thing. Of course, I really love my ‘new’ 2006. The first one was an 87 that lasted forever, too. And my wife had a 95 that lasted 14 years until it was totaled by a ton of ice that slid off a roof.

Have you heard about their easy payment plan? (Personally, I’d rather poke my eyes out than do that to my daughter, or to anyone’s daughter for that matter.)

[TheOldLady]

Fate is certainly unkind to your vehicles.

[TheOldLady]

You bring the rope; I’m right behind you with the pitchforks.

[Future Snake Eater]

Meh, they all sound alike anyway. The only reason I know for sure is b/c my wife bought a 2009 Sienna. It’s pretty awesome, I almost feel not gay driving it.

[Slings and Arrows]

Some crimes beggar all comprehension.
