Man sells girlfriend's baby

Baby-selling case

Kentucky Post, March 15, 2006, pg. A7.

A man will spend two years in prison for his role in selling his girlfriend's baby for $5,000 to a Michigan woman.

Kenneth Couch, 23, was sentenced Monday in Whitley County Circuit Court in Williamsburg.

He was convicted in January on one count of prohibited acts and practices in adoption of children.

Couch and Jessica Cornett, both of Williamsburg, were arrested after selling her then-10-month-old daughter in March 2005 to Kimberly Brick, of Chase, in Michigan's Lake County.
