Couple Made 12 years Daughter Dominatrix and Offered Her For Sex

They made her a dominatrix and schooled her in the ways of violent sex when she was only 12.

By the time she reached 14, they had billed her as “Mistress Alisha,” and they offered her online for two years to service the sadomasochistic fantasies of anyone willing to pay.

But on Thursday, it was the turn of the girl’s mother and the man she formerly lived with in Blue Springs to pay for the years of victimization they forced the girl to endure so they could make money.

Todd Barkau, the man who trained, groomed and offered her to others, and the girl’s mother, who is not being named to protect her daughter’s identity, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to the commercial sex trafficking of a minor.

Barkau, 37, will serve 25 years in prison as part of the plea agreement with prosecutors. The girl’s 45-year-old mother will spend 15 years in prison. Prosecutors said she was the first person in the country to be charged under the federal trafficking law in a case involving her own child.

Both also were ordered to forfeit the $80,000 they collected from the girl’s customers.
