Woman accused of offering kids for sex

wire report

HOUSTON -- A suburban Houston woman accused of offering to let a Missouri man have sex with three young children has been arrested on child pornography charges.

The 33-year-old Katy woman is charged with one count of possession of child pornography and one count of performance of a child. Bail on each charge was set at $50,000.

She is scheduled to be arraigned Friday. Jail records did not show an attorney listed for her, and there was no answer at a phone number listed for her address.

She was arrested Wednesday after federal agents in Independence, Mo., learned she had made arrangements over the Internet for Michael Stratton to visit Texas and engage in sex acts with the children, investigators said. Stratton, who had been arrested in a separate investigation in Missouri, gave information about the woman to federal agents.

Authorities identified the children as the woman's 11-year-old son, 5-year-old nephew and 2-year-old niece.
