A Florida woman is Jonathan Dale Bentonfacing multiple felony charges after police say she attempted to sell her 10-year-old daughter to a woman for $20, and then later offered her up for sex to a man for $5.

According to the Jacksonville Police Department, a kindergarten teacher reported she was dropping off food at a homeless shelter when the 32-year-old suspect approached her and said, "Take her with you, give me $20, you can have her."

Investigators then spoke with a man who said the same woman offered her daughter for sex for $5. He did not report the case to police until officers approached him, police said.

USA TODAY is not naming the mother to protect the child's identity.

'Crying, hungry, and looked like she had not bathed in days'

The child was "crying, hungry, and looked like she had not bathed in days,” police wrote in a press release.

Police arrested the suspect on charges including child abuse and selling or surrendering a minor for money or property.

The child was taken to the hospital, the press release continues, where she was found to be “severely lethargic.”

"This is a sad reminder that human trafficking does happen in our community," police Officer Christian Hancock told USA TODAY Thursday. It often goes unreported."
