Kentucky Couple Arrested on Human Trafficking Charges After Allegedly Trying to Sell Newborn Twin Girls for $5,000
A Kentucky couple has been arrested on human trafficking-related charges after allegedly trying to sell their newborn twin daughters for $5,000.
The Jackson County couple, Zackary Davis and Jacquilyn Keith, claim the offer was just a joke.
Law enforcement had been contacted by Davis’ sister-in-law, who claimed the couple offered to sell her the twins. She provided recordings and screenshots of conversations that allegedly back up her claims.
Both parents confessed to agreeing to sell her the children, but claim they never intended to follow through with it.
“She said, ‘I give you five grand.’ I said, ‘ha, ha, yeah, you can have my kids for five grand,” Davis said, according to a report from the Daily Mail.
