Default Dad pleads not guilty in sale of daughter case (AP)

AP - A California man has pleaded not guilty to aiding statutory rape in an alleged arrangement to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, beer and meat.

The prosecutor says 36-year-old Marcelino de Jesus Martinez entered pleas Wednesday to procuring a child for lewd acts, aiding and abetting statutory rape and child endangerment.

Trial is set for April 6. Martinez is in jail on an immigration hold. He lives in Greenfield, a farming community on California's central coast.

Prosecutors say Martinez and the family of Margarito de Jesus Galindo had negotiated a marriage and dowry contract.

Authorities learned of the deal after Martinez went to police to get his daughter back because payment wasn't made as promised.
