Versailles woman charged with child sex trafficking

VERSAILLES, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Versailles woman was charged on Thursday with first-degree child sex trafficking of a youth younger than 12 years old.

Stacy Schumacher, 48, is being held at the Morgan County Jail on a $50,000 bond. A court date has not been set.

According to the probable cause statement, law enforcement was informed on April 1 by a child who claimed they were routinely sexually assaulted between Nov. 1, 2018-Dec. 31, 2019. The statement claims that Schumacher would allow men to sexually abuse the youth in exchange for drugs.

The child gave several details about the assaults and descriptions of the drugs used, the statement says. Court documents say Schumacher would also hit the child.

Law enforcement spoke with Schumacher on June 14, who denied trading the child for drugs, court documents say.
