A woman accused of hosting a party at her Detroit home where men could pay for lap dances and sex is headed to trial.
A district judge on Friday ordered the 34-year-old bound over for trial on child sexually abusive activity and other lesser charges.
Two 28-year-old Detroit men also are headed to trial in the case. Stanley Ferguson is charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and other charges and Samuel Benning is charged with Ecstasy possession and other charges.
Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans said authorities raided the Detroit home in the 18000 block of Cherrylawn Street last month and discovered about 20 men, 19 adult female prostitutes, including the woman's 16-year-old daughter and a friend, also 16. Both girls were partially nude.
The Associated Press is withholding the woman's name to protect her daughter's identity.
Evans said the men paid a $15 cover charge plus whatever the prostitutes charged for sex. It isn't known whether the underage girls had offered sex for money.
The woman denies any child sexually abusive activity took place.
