Titusville, FL – On Wednesday, police arrested Tony Marcel Hammond, 23, after he allegedly had sex with a child in exchange for prescription pain killers Oxycodone and Percocet for her mother.
The victim’s mother, Debra Annmarie Blackmon, 25, reportedly made the arrangements and her daughter agreed to have sex with Hammond in December, according to the police report.
Blackmon is addicted to pain pills and was suffering from withdrawal symptoms at the time.
The report goes on to say Hammond gave the young girl marijuana to “help [the victim] complete the sex act.”
Afterwards, Hammond provided the drugs to her mother.
Hammond has been charged with sex trafficking charges and procuring a person under 18 years old for prostitution. If convicted, he could face up to 15 years in prison on each count.
Blackmon has been charged with sex trafficking of a minor by legal guardian and child neglect causing great bodily harm. If convicted, she could face up to 30 years in prison.
Titusville police began investigating Blackmon after someone called the Department of Children and Families’ Florida Abuse Hotline, alleging child neglect.
