From MSNBC News:
"GREENFIELD, Calif. - Police have arrested a Greenfield man for allegedly arranging to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, 100 cases of beer and several cases of meat.
"Police said they only learned of the deal after the 36-year-old man went to them to get his daughter back because payment wasn't made as promised. The man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of human trafficking.
"Officers also arrested an 18-year-old man on suspicion of statutory rape. Investigators believe the girl went willingly with the man, but she's under California's legal age of consent and can't legally marry.
"Police say arranged marriages involving underage girls have become a problem in this small Central Coast farming community."
Hell, what is California coming to? I thought that shit only happened in Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia. She must have been a looker, too, boy! $16,000 and 100 cases of beer? Shewwee! That's a keeper!
*If you don't know what this means, see Urban Dictionary. Because if you don't get it, it really isn't funny.
This is a sad story isn't. I think if I was the girl I would pay him with the beer to go away. Gee! We move closer to Mike Judge's Idiocracy.
