Screencap from NBC10 Philadelphia

UPDATE: Lancaster County couple told police they thought sale of their daughter was legal.

Police discovered 12 girls inside of a Bucks County home on Thursday, including a teenage girl from Lancaster County.

The girls found in the Feasterville, Pa. residence range from six months old to 18 years old, NBC10 out of Philadelphia reports.

The owner, Lee Kaplan, has been charged with sexual assault, and one of the victims informed police she was the mother of two of the other girls discovered. Those girls are 3-years-old and the six-month-old.

"This child gave birth to two other children through an inappropriate relationship," Lower Southampton Lt. John Krimmel told NBC10.

WGAL reported that the teenage mother's parents, Daniel and Savilla Stolzfus, live in Lancaster County and were Amish. Police arrested the parents after an allegation that they sold their daughter to Kaplan.

Daniel Stolzfus told police that he thought giving his daughter to Kaplan was legal after conducting online research. The exchange was made after Kaplan helped the Stolzfus family escape financial ruin.

No birth certificates for the children have been found.
