A Pennsylvania couple have been charged for gifting their 14-year-old daughter to a man as 'thank you gift' after helping them financially.
A Pennsylvania couple is accused of child endangerment after police said they gave away their 14-year-old daughter to a man who helped them financially. The friend has been charged with sexually assaulting the teen, who had two children with him.
Officials acting on a tip Thursday found 51-year-old Lee Kaplan at his Feasterville home, along with 12 girls ranging in age from six months to 18 years old.
According to an affidavit, the girl’s father, Daniel Stoltzfus, told an officer he gave his daughter to Kaplan after he helped the family out of financial ruin. He told police he thought it was legal after he did some research online.
Kaplan faces a number of charges including statutory sexual assault and aggravated indecent assault. Daniel Stoltzfus is charged with conspiracy of statutory sexual assault and children endangerment. His wife, Savilla Stoltzfus, is charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
According to Global News, all three are being held on $1 million bail. No lawyer information was listed in court documents.
The girl, now 18, told police she and Kaplan have a 3-year-old and a six-month-old.
Lower Southampton Police Lt. John Krimmel said the Stoltzfuses told police they were Amish, and a criminal complaint shows their address as Quarryville, in Lancaster County. However, Krimmel said it appeared the couple had been living with Kaplan, although it was unclear for how long.
The Stoltzfuses told police they were going to lose their farm until Kaplan “came out of the blue and saved them from financial ruin,” said Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler.
The couple told police the other nine girls in the house were their children, Krimmel said. No birth certificates or Social Security cards could be located to confirm they were the parents, he said.
The children have been placed in child protective custody, Krimmel said.

ReplyDeleteImagine using a human being as a 'thank you for helping' gift.
ReplyDeleteA chicken, a gallon of fresh cow or goat milk (since you are farmers) or a home cooked dinner invite would be more appropriate next time, you psychopaths
This is wickedness and selfishness in the highest order.
