Forty-three-year-old Adrienne Klein allegedly flew her twelve-year-old daughter from Texas to Georgia to be sexually abused by a twenty-year-old man.
Gwinnett County police of Georgia stated that Klein allegedly worked together with Gesart Hoxha to fly the child from Texas to the Atlanta area and arranged for her to stay in a hotel.
A statement released by the Gwinnett police department shared, “Our detectives learned that Klein and Hoxha facilitated the transportation of Klein’s 12-year-old daughter across state lines from Texas to Gwinnett.”
Klein was “charged with enticing a child for indecent purposes and cruelty to children in the 2nd degree,” Fox 4 stated. Hoxha was “charged with child molestation, statutory rape, enticing a child for indecent purposes and employing or using a minor to engage in or assist a person in sexually explicit conduct for a visual medium.”
The investigation began with the Arlington Police Department in Texas on September 7. Arlington police connected with Gwinnett Police Internet Crimes against Children Taskforce investigators, and a warrant was issued to search Hoxha’s apartment in Georgia.
Upon searching his apartment, investigators reportedly found “explicit photos of the victim” and “a large sum of cash.” They also noted that the young victim and Hoxha were allegedly “messaging [online] prior to her being flown to the state, some of which were sexually explicit in nature.” Law & Crime reported that explicit photos were exchanged online as well.
The Arlington Police Department filed another charge against Hoxha, “indecency with a child by sexual contact.”
According to Law & Crime, online jail records from Santa Rosa County, Florida, show that Klein was booked on December 14 and remains in jail without bond. Hoxha was released from the Gwinnett County jail on bond on December 15.
