A Great Falls woman accused of selling a kindergarten-age child to a man for the purpose of sex faces her second trial today after the first one ended in a hung jury.
Corena Marie Mountain Chief, 43, was first accused in late 2018 of felony trafficking of persons and sexual abuse of children. The trafficking charge was later dismissed.
According to court documents, the alleged victim told police that when she was about 4 or 5 years old, Mountain Chief sold her to Eugene Edwin Sherbondy, who then raped her.
Sherbondy faces charges in this and another case involving drugs, child trafficking and witness tampering. His trials are still pending.
