An affidavit filed by an Alabama Bureau of Investigation agent indicates that Gray met Bervig in an online chat room and discussed sexual fantasies involving children.
It is alleged that Bervig had visited Gray’s house several times, including an initial visit in which the two had sex. It is further alleged that about a month ago Gray tried to set up a sexual liaison with Bervig, a 7-year-old family member and a female friend of the child.
It is also alleged that Gray gave Benadryl to the two children at her house, then told Bervig to come so that they could “play” with the children. Reportedly Bervig drove to Gray’s house, but left because the children were still awake. He told authorities that Gray was angry that the children had not fallen asleep. Subsequently it is alleged that Gray and Bervig discussed drugging the child with Percocet for the alleged plans for the upcoming weekend.
Gray and Bervig face child pornography charges. Gray is being held in the Mobile County Metro Jail until a federal magistrate judge will decide whether to grant her pre-trial release.
Bervig, who was arrested Tuesday and an investigator from Florida assumed Bervig’s identity online and contacted Gray. She told him during the instant messaging chat that she wanted Bervig to come to her house. Alabama authorities, following Bervig’s statements, obtained a search warrant for Gray’s home on Tuesday. She initially said she had not had any chats about engaging in sex with children, according to the affidavit, but then admitted that she had after officers confronted her with chat logs.

This is why you can’t trust anyone with your child. There are some very evil people who will hurt an innocent child cause they are sick and twisted. I hope they receive the worst punishment possible….stick them in with the rest of the prison population, even murders love their children and they will handle these sick ****s in a timely and most painful manner. I hope you and people like you burn in hell for eternity.
