Mom Accused Of Offering 3 Children For Free Sex

Stephanie Hays, a 33-years-old Katy woman is being accused of offering to let a Missouri man have sex with three young children. She is charged with one count of possession of child pornography and one count of performance of a child.

Investigators say the children whom Hays offered for sex were a 2-year-old girl and two boys, ages 5 and 11. A man arrested in a separate investigation told federal investigators in Independence, Mo., about Hays, saying she had arranged for him to visit her home and engage in sex acts with the children. Hays did not want any money from the man in return.

Investigators said, "She claimed to offer them up on more than one occasion. She even took a week off of work to meet up with the individual."

Hays, 33, told investigators that she fantasized about child pornography. Police searched her home and found child pornography photos and videos on her computer. Officers said they found very graphic chat logs where Hays described to the man her sexual fantasies that included the children.

During the chat, investigators said Hays claimed to want to be part of the sex acts. She told investigators that she had considered sexually abusing her son and has tried to arouse him.
