A 38-year-old Michigan woman thought she was showing up for a threesome with a father and his underage daughter Monday, but was arrested by undercover officers instead, police said.
Kristina Lynn Howarth showed up for what she thought was a threesome rendezvous in Macomb County, according to the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office. An undercover detective who had spoken with Howarth in online chats and phone calls starting a week earlier helped cuff her.
Howarth “expressed a willingness to have sex with who she thought was a father and (underage) daughter” during the chats and calls, Macomb County Sheriff’s Lt. John Michalke said in a statement.
She faces charges of two counts of sexually abusive activity with a child and one count of communicating with another person to commit a crime over the Internet. The three felonies each carry 20-year prison terms if Howarth is convicted.
A judge set her bond at $75,000 and she was still incarcerated Thursday afternoon, Michalke said. She’s slated to appear in court again April 11.
Residents of Dearborn Heights, which is about 15 miles west of downtown Detroit, expressed surprise that investigators believe a woman agreed to the twisted tryst.
“Good thing they got to her before she got to the young lady,” one local man told WXYZ-TV. “It’s usually a dude and a young girl or something like that, you know. Times is changing now, you know, it’s crazy.”
