SAN ANTONIO, TX -- A mother and her boyfriend are in jail, accused of trying to sell the woman's 5-year-old daughter for sex.
Jennifer Richards and Sean Michael Block are being held in the Geo Federal Jail Downtown.
The two were picked up earlier this week after FBI agents arrested them with the help of a confidential informant.
News 4 obtained the court documents that laid out the FBI's investigation. The FBI says Block sent a text message to the informant that said: "Nice piece, five-years-old, belongs to my GF and she wants to sell."
The informant then talked to Block on the phone and again, according to court documents, Block told the informant - "Jenn had a five-year-old daughter that she desired to have engage in sexual contact with and adult male."
The FBI then says Richards began talking to the informant on the phone and sent pictures of her five-year-old and 10-month-old daughters to the informant.
The FBI says Richards told the informant these sexual interactions would be a positive experience for the five-year-old. All she wanted, according to the FBI, was for the informant to furnish an apartment and an used automobile for the sex.
The FBI says this information was enough to put the two in jail.
Block is facing charges of sending child pornography over the internet. Richards is facing a federal charge of trying to sell her daughter.
Both will have a bond hearing in front of a judge on Friday.
