KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A man and woman accused of training the woman's daughter to be a dominatrix were expected to change their innocent pleas at a federal court hearing Thursday.


Todd Barkau, of New York, and the girl's mother pleaded not guilty last year to seven counts apiece. The U.S. attorney's office in Kansas City says the case is the first in which a parent has been charged with the commercial sex trafficking of his or her own minor child.

Officials say Barkau and the woman - who isn't being named to protect the identity of the daughter - lived in Blue Springs when Barkau began grooming the 12-year-old girl to become a sexual dominatrix.
