A Wyoming couple could face centuries in prison after they allegedly arranged and had group sex with a child, who they supplied with drugs.
Jennifer Renee Fahrney, 39, and Richard Allen Turner, 56, both of Rock Springs, face dozens of felony charges after their arrest on October 22.
Fahrney garnered 66 felony counts and faces up to 858 years in prison, according to Cowboy State Daily. An affidavit filed claimed that she brought the teenage girl into sex acts with her boyfriend over multiple months.
They were arrested by Rock Springs Police Department at a Pilot Butte Avenue home after a warrant was issued for a child welfare check. The police and Family Services had visited the home prior and was denied entry, according to a police statement.
Officers found animal urine and feces throughout the property, exposed wires, minimal food, drugs, and ‘extreme filth’ in the home, alongside three minor children.
Four adults – including Fahrney and Turner – were arrested.
The victim, a female, told Detective Jennifer Saloga that someone had helped her inject meth into her arm as she didn’t know how to do it herself. She also admitted to having sex with Turner, according to Cowboy State Daily.
The girl did not tell police who injected the drug into her, but allegedly admitted Turner had performed sexual acts on her multiple times.
