Steve Marks, 31, remains held on $1 million bail at the Rockwall County Jail after he was arrested with other family members for pimping out his young daughter, WFAA reported.
“A person that really does that needs to be put away for the rest of their life if they do that to their child.”
Marks, who was arrested Wednesday, told the station from inside the jail. “I don’t think a father who loves his children, fights for custody for his children … I love them, I would die for them. I have no reason to sell my children.”
