Teresa Vanover, 52, was sentenced to a minimum of 20 years in prison for prostituting her two mentally disabled teenager daughters to various men for $20

A mother who pleaded guilty to prostituting her two mentally disabled teenage daughters for $20 or less has been sentenced to a minimum of 20 years in prison.

Teresa Vanover admitted she allowed local men to perform sexual acts on her daughters in their Eden, North Carolina neighborhood for $5, $10 or $20 bills.

The money was used to pay for her husband's medical bills, as well as her crack cocaine habit.

Vanover, 52, was charged 24 counts of child abuse by prostitution and 24 counts of promoting prostitution with a minor with a disability.

She received the minimum 20 year sentence on three of her charges and a six-and-a-half year concurrent sentence for her other 45 charges.

Vanover confessed that she would take her 15-year-old daughter to a neighborhood barber shop, a nearby boat ramp and even one of the men's mother's house.

She would then allow the men to perform sexual acts on her daughter, or would make her daughter watch while she had sex with them, according to Greensboro News & Record.

When the 15-year-old began to refuse, Vanover used her 13-year-old daughter instead.

The 15-year-old told police months after her father died, when she realized there couldn't be any more medical bills her mother needed to pay.

'We don't have to do it anymore because daddy is dead,' the girl told police, according to transcripts read in court.

Vanover was arrested in September 2015 and immediately confessed to the crimes.

She also led police to four men who would be charged in the prostitution ring: Thomas 'Tommy' Woodall, Everett Ferris Jr, Donnie Carter, and Mickey Snow.

It was Woodall, 67, who owned the barber shop, now permanently closed, that Vanover would take her daughters to.

He pleaded guilty to statutory rape or sex offense with someone over six years old and abetting prostitution. He is serving a minimum 16 year sentence.

Ferris Jr, 67, pleaded guilty in March to six counts of patronizing a prostitute and indecent liberties with a child. He was sentenced to a minimum of six-and-a-half years in prison and 36 months on probation.

Carter, 65, pleaded guilty to two counts of forcible sex offense, two counts of indecent liberties with a child and one count of patronizing a prostitute with severe mental disability.

He was sentenced on Tuesday to a minimum of five years in and three months in prison and 36 months of probation.

Snow, 75, will go on trial in July. He has not entered a plea.

Wilkes County Superior Court Judge Mike Duncan called the case one of the 'most disturbing' he had ever seen during the sentencing.

Vanover saw her daughters for the last time after she confessed to police.

'It's mommy's fault,' she told them. 'I have to face the consequences.'
