HAMMOND, Ind. (Sun-Times Media Wire) –

A Gary, Ind. woman admitted this week that she sold a baby eight times to a  Gary man for sex and was in the room for all the meetings except for the last  one.

Natisha Hillard, 25, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Hammond to one  count of selling a child for sex and two counts of allowing a child to take part  in child pornography, the Post-Tribune is reporting.

Hillard admitted under questioning by her attorney, Visvaldis Kupsis, that  she met Christopher M. Bour through a dating service in 2011 and that they  agreed to meet at her place. That was when Bour started asking her about two  children she had access to, both girls, who were 4 months and 3 years old at the  time.

The crimes lasted from September 2011 until February 2013, when an  acquaintance of Bour alerted the FBI that he had been asking her to take  part.

She agreed with statements by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jill Koster that she  can be seen on images found on Bour’s computer showing him sexually touching the  child with Hillard in the background.

She also let Bour take sexual pictures of the older child at least once,  Koster said.

Koster said that Hillard told law enforcement after she was arrested that she  agreed to sell the children to Bour because she needed money and that Bour paid  her extra for the last encounter to be alone with child.

Hillard said she didn’t know if Bour then shared those images with other  people.

“He didn’t tell me what he was going to do with them,” she said.

Hillard, who is being held without bond, faces a mandatory minimum sentence  of 30 years to life in prison on the count of selling a child.

Bour, also being held without bond, has pleaded not guilty in the case.
