WARREN, Mich. – A Warren mother stands accused of offering up her 4-year-old daughter on an adult website for money.

During the course of the conversation, investigators allege that Brys shared with Reardon that she had a young daughter.

Through text messages, investigators said Brys and Reardon agreed to meet because Reardon was interested in the daughter -- including showering with her. The conversation between the two included prices, which were in the hundreds of dollars.

Investigators said the girl's father found the text messages before the meeting with Brys and Reardon took place. He contacted police and Brys and Reardon were arrested.

They are both facing charges of child sexually abusive material and communicating on a computer with another to commit a crime.

Reardon is on a federal tether for being involved in similar incidents in other states.

Their bonds have been set at $500,000.
