Mother of 12-year-old-girl-turned-dominatrix sentenced to 15 years

The mother of a 12-year-old girl who was trained to be a dominatrix and prostituted was sentenced today to 15 years in federal prison and ordered to pay $200,000 in restitution.

The mother isn’t being named to protect the girl’s

identity. 

The case is something out of Law & Order: SVU. The girl’s 46-year-old mother allowed a former Blue Springs man named Todd Barkau to rape the girl, train her to be a dominatrix and prostitute her between

January 2002 and February 2005.

Mom even watched her daughter perform with the men — and

got paid by Barkau.

When the girl turned 14, Barkau advertised her on the

Internet as a 19-

to 20-year-old dominatrix. He called her “Mistress Alisha.” The name was a hand-me-down from mom, who used the name when she was a

stripper.
