A woman accepted $50 from a West Virginia police chief so he could rape her 17-year-old relative, feds say

In exchange for $50, Kristen Naylor-Legg brought her 17-year-old family member to a community center in June 2020 where a local police chief allegedly raped the girl, federal prosecutors claim.

Naylor-Legg, court documents say, stood by — directing the girl during the alleged rape and providing her with towels to clean up afterward. A West Virginia police chief, who was on duty, according to court documents, allegedly failed to pay the woman the agreed-upon price and left.

On Wednesday, Naylor-Legg, 28, pleaded guilty in a West Virginia federal court to one count of conspiracy to sex traffic a minor. She faces up to life in prison at sentencing, which is scheduled for December. Regardless of how much time she gets behind bars, she will have to register as a sex offender.

Her attorney did not respond to a request for comment.

1. I have no words.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. The article is horrifying and goes into considerable detail. YIKES.

There's a lot more to the story than is shown in this excerpt.

4. Sexual abuse of children is much worse problem then we admit.

[SallyHemmings]

5. This is just terrible

Will that young girl ever value herself?

[SergeStorms]

6. Monstrous.

What can be said about something like this, other than, I hope they give the perps the maximum penalties allowed by the law, and that the young girl gets every bit of counseling she needs to get through this.

The ultimate betrayal by a family member.

7. Yet no name of the police officer. Why?

Why do we never get names and pictures of the police officers?

10. Larry Allen Clay Jr., the now ex-police chief of the small town of Gauley Bridge

It’s in the article and he has been charged.

He is a link with a nice photo of the child rapist

8. Disgusting

9. Both the woman and cop need to be 6 feet under

Like all traffickers, pedo's, and rapists.

12. Wish I could rec your post a million times

I agree all pedos,traffickers and rapists should be 6 feet under and buried with shame itshould be noted on thier tombstone what kind of monster they were.

[vercetti2021]

13. Exactly

But by me thinking that. I support the death penalty. I do for these monsters and I'm not gonna say I don't. I do for these evil wastes of skin.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

14. I too support the death penalty for those

Kinds of scum.
Once a pedophile,trafficker or rapist is dead he cant get leinency probation or escape jail and can never hurt anyone again.

[vercetti2021]

15. Yep

Reason I never cared if a Punisher type popped up in society. The do what we all would love to do

11. Yet no name of the police officer. Why?

Why do we never get names and pictures of the police officers involved?

His name is Larry Allen Clay Jr. who at the time was an employee of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department and the Chief of Police for the Gauley Bridge Police (West Virginia). He was 57 years old and white.
