Mother Now Charged In Child Sex Trafficking Case

July 25, 2017

The mother of the 13-year old girl involved in an Atmore sex trafficking case has now been arrested.

Melissa Deann Stoker, 37,  is charged with  first-degree human trafficking, endangering the welfare of a child and contributing to the delinquency of a child.

She is being held in the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton on a $1 million bond, as are  66-year old Lue Daw, 66, and 87-year-old Charles Clarence Stacey.

Court documents show Daw accepted money from Stacey in exchange for allowing him to have sex with her 13-year-old granddaughter.

Stacey persuaded the 13-year-old girl to come into a back bedroom and have sex with him for money, according to those court documents. Both are charged with human trafficking and rape.

Stacey is also charged with promoting prostitution and enticing a child for immoral purposes.

    Hell is not hot enough for these three. There is no way this child will ever be normal again. I cannot imagine that this sick man could do that at 87. To a 13 year old. I would like to hear if there are prior allegations of child abuse and rape against this scumbag. I bet you that there are. Putting them on a map, registering them, therapy, hormones -there is nothing that will stop a sexual predator except death. And, then when the mom and grandmom offer her up like a piece of meat, she will never have any confidence, self-respect or peace of mind. I wish we could stake them out in thed sun so they could die nice and slow. God, please help this baby feel love like only You can give her. I certainly do not understand why these things happen, but it is not for me to know.

    The only “have faith in god comments” that I saw were one that said that they hope God can help her overcome this; and one saying that HER faith in God is what brought HER through HER ordeal and she hopes that this young victim can as well. There were none that I saw saying that if she had “just prayed harder this might not have happened”.

    Could it be that you were just using a story like this to push your anti-God agenda?

    I love all the “have faith in god comments”

    Cause I’m sure that’s what’s on the victims mind, I’m sure the victim I like damn if I just prayed harder this might not have happened

    Dumbfounded that someone could push a agenda about god on a story like this

    How could someone knowingly hurt a child and be able to sleep at night??? This is terrible….. That poor baby…..

    Let me tell you from experience, this innocent child will NEVER be the same. There is no healing or therapy that will bring her back to normalcy. The only thing that has saved me up until this point is my faith in God and the people that love me and/or depend on me. Without them, I would have been gone a long time ago. It’s a every day struggle that you cannot truly understand unless you’ve lived it. It’s a hell that borders the eternity that these people are going to have to endure. But I, and she, and so many other innocents, have to live with daily without any fault of our own. No mistakes made. No bad choices. No wrong decisions. Just innocence viciously stolen and lives altered forever. I hope and pray that this is a complete fabrication and that none of it actually happened. No young person should ever have to endure the eternal torment that comes with sexual abuse as a child. May God show her the path and give her the strength to walk it.

    I would like to see the smile slapped off their faces.

    This isn’t human trafficking and rape to the innocent little girl, it’s Murder of the most important part of her normal childhood development!! Raping a child is MURDERING parts of their brains, self worth and should be punished as such!!

  9. Pamela Flores on July 25th, 2017 2:50 pm

    Why are these people still breathing? Just hang them and be done with it!

  10. RaGina Zimmerman on July 25th, 2017 2:14 pm

    These people are sick! They need to be put in prison and have no chance at EVER getting out! It just goes to show you that there are sick twisted people in this world and it could be anybody.

  11. Miranda on July 25th, 2017 1:46 pm

    There are sick bastards in this world.they need to hang all three of them and give that child to someone that will help get her back on track and heal her heart with love

    Please ,please ,please let the justice system make an example out of these people . Don’t give them the death penalty so they get beaten daily by all the other prisoners and the rest of their lives are filled with pain and torment till the day this miserable lives eND .

  13. nod on July 25th, 2017 12:30 pm

    Yes tj get a rope, we must become a lawless society. They may deserve a rope but sadly we must let our justice system hopefully do it’s job.

  14. Shelia edwards on July 25th, 2017 11:31 am

    This is pure SICKNESS, God have mercy on them they will answer to him for sure… I feel so awezful for that poor little girl, that she trusted her mother, grandmother n to allow this to happen to her it’s unbelievable… I pray this pregnancy ious child will have strength in God, to overcome any hurt, healing that she is a child of God n she sent alone… As far as these people, I say, they need exactly what’s comin to them n NO MERCY AT All… But I’m one that doesn’t believe to much into the system, seen it fell to many times… In due time they will get a slap on the wrist n set free n that is how we’re suppose to believe in the law or system??? Law, system has fell so much for the tax payers its sad it really is. But we will see how long they stay in jail or the system….

  16. fishergirl on July 25th, 2017 11:00 am

  17. Person on July 25th, 2017 10:49 am

    I hooe that these people have done to them what they did to that little girl. Prison isnt going to be easy on these sick, subhuman, pedophiles.

  18. John on July 25th, 2017 10:18 am

    TJ…..I agree with your idea but disagree with a rope!!! That is too quick and painless!!!

  19. Honest John on July 25th, 2017 8:55 am

    I’ve read some sick news before but this has to be at the top of the list. So sad for the little girl.

  20. Bama Girl on July 25th, 2017 7:49 am

    Sick, Sick people. And smiling about it!. I hope they all get sent to prison. We all know what will happen there. Their room mates don’t take kindly to perverts.

    I pray this child can overcome the hell she has been put through at the expense of her own family.

  21. MadMax on July 25th, 2017 7:37 am

    May all three of them rot in prison and then rot in HELL!!!!

  22. TJ on July 25th, 2017 7:06 am

    Get a rope!

  23. glenda phillipd on July 25th, 2017 7:03 am

    THESE ARE 2 SICK PEOPLE

  24. LOU ELLEN DEVEAU on July 25th, 2017 5:19 am

    I cannot even imagine doing this to one of my 5 granddaughters. What this child has been through will take a life time of therapy to manage her pain. I pray all 3 get a life sentence when convicted!!
