A 51-year-old woman from Friesland who prostituted her 14-year-old daughter to adult men has been sentenced to one day in jail and 150 hours community service by a court in Leeuwarden.

The case dates back to 2012 and it is unclear from the coverage why it has only just come to court.

The woman, now 51, advertised her daughter on internet, inviting men to ‘massage her’, the Telegraaf reported.

One man, from Schagen, was given a community service sentence of 200 hours for having sex with the girl. Another man, who was 27 at the time, was jailed for six months for having sex with a minor.

The public prosecution department had called on the court to jail the mother for 10 months. However, the judge said there is little chance she will offend again and that no purpose would be served by jailing her for a longer period.
