WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A Kansas man who tried to recruit mother-child sex slaves has pleaded guilty to criminal charges.

The Wichita Eagle reports Michael David Mitchell of Eskridge pleaded guilty last week to one count of enticement of a minor.

Investigators say he was arrested last June at a Missouri hotel where he went to meet a person he thought was a woman interested in selling her 10-year-old daughter for sex acts. According to the plea agreement, he told authorities he was a sadist who was willing to pay thousands of dollars for a family that he could enslave in his home for about five years.



The plea agreement also alleges Mitchell was carrying a duffel bag full of “material related to sexual torture” when he was arrested.
