A Chinese couple will face years in jail
after allegedly trying to sell their daughter to get iPhone 5 for $8
200. The couple placed anonymous advertisements in newspapers suggesting
they would be prepared to part making use of their baby after giving
birth.
They were charged with human-trafficking. According
to Chinese media reports, the amount of money, that have been deposited
in couple's bank account, were used to get a brand new iPhone and
various other luxury goods.

The couple told prosecution
that these were acting within their baby's best interests because they
cannot provide production and proper lifestyle due to their child.
Meanwhile, prosecutors stated that the couple's bank records shows
they'd hatched a'sinister conspiracy'to profit from the sale of the
baby.
Trying to hide the plot, criminals tried to
conceal the pregnancy from their neighbors. The girl was spending all
her time in the home and even gave birth to her child inside their
place.
IPhones are a sought-after commodity in China and only a
year ago seven people were jailed in Hunan province due to their role in
the purchase of a kidney from a young boy, who used the amount of money
to get an iPhone and an iPad.
