An Alabama grandmother is accused of “selling” her 13-year-old granddaughter to her elderly boyfriend for sex, threatening the girl with harm if she did not comply, police said.

Mary Lue Daw, 66, of Atmore, is charged with first-degree rape and first-degree human trafficking, according to WKRG in Mobile. Daw's 87-year-old boyfriend, Charles Clarence Stacey, is charged with first-degree rape, first-degree human trafficking, first-degree promoting prostitution and enticing a child for immoral purposes.

An investigation by the Atmore Police Department indicated that Daw accepted cash from Stacey in exchange for the sexual encounter, WKRG reported.

The Atmore News reported that Daw may have held the girl down while Stacey sexually assaulted her.

Both defendants are being held in the Escambia County Detention Center in lieu of $1 million bond each.
