US mother let drug dealer rape her minor daughter to finance addiction

A US mother who stooped to horrifying levels to finance her heroin addiction -- she let her drug dealer rape her 11-year-old daughter in exchange of the opiod drug -- was sentenced to 51 years or life in prison on Tuesday in Ohio.

According to The Washington Post, 32-year-old April Corcoran would loan her minor daughter to a 40-year-old drug dealer, who would force the pre-teen into having vaginal, anal and oral sex with him. The abuse was not only sexual, as the mother would even make her daughter consume heroin as a ‘reward’.

What's worse, the mother made her daughter dress up to look even younger than 11, because the drug dealer preferred to rape very young girls.

“I can honestly say that, in three-and-a-half years on the bench, this is by far the worst thing that has come before this court," said Judge Leslie Ghiz who was hearing the case at the Hamilton (Ohio) County Pleas Court.

Corcoran was indicted for rape, human trafficking and child endangerment. According to the report, the mother showed no sign of remorse for her barbaric actions. The alleged drug dealer, Shandell Willingham, who would even videotape himself raping the minor, is still awaiting a hearing.

The victim who suffered brutal abuse is now under the care of her father and step-mother. The court was informed that the girl is suffering from depression and is receiving medical treatment and attention for her suicidal thoughts.

"I saw my granddaughter. I heard her small voice, It was horrific. How could she (Corcoran) do this? I don't know if my granddaughter is going to be able to have a normal life," said the victim’s grandmother in court.
