ELY - A 36-year-old Ely woman accused of trafficking her daughter to several men in exchange for money and drugs pled guilty last week in St. Louis County District Court.
Daisy J. Buley pled guilty on Thursday, Feb. 20, to first-degree aggravated sex trafficking, according to court documents. Buley initially pled not guilty. Her trial was set to begin this week.
Prosecutors accused the woman of taking her daughter around to various men’s homes and allowing them to sexually assault the young girl. Afterward, the men would pay Buley “wads of cash” or give her narcotics, according to the complaint. She was arrested last August, a few weeks after her daughter contacted law enforcement.
The victim told investigators this happened at least seven times while she was 11-13 years old. She also said Buley “threatened to kill her if she tried to fight back or tell anyone what was happening,” according to the charges.
By pleading guilty to the sex trafficking charge, the state agreed to dismiss a count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
She will also avoid the maximum sentence of 25 years in prison, and instead will face a sentence of more than seven years, followed by 10 years of conditional release. Buley will also be required to register as a predatory offender during that time.
Sentencing is set for March 21.
