GREENFIELD, Calif. —
Police have arrested a Greenfield man for allegedly arranging to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, 100 cases of beer and several cases of meat.

Police say they only learned of the deal after 36-year-old Marcelino de Jesus Martinez went to them to get his daughter back because payment wasn't made as promised.

Martinez was arrested Sunday on suspicion of human trafficking.

Officers also arrested 18-year-old Margarito de Jesus Galindo on suspicion of statutory rape. Investigators believe the girl went willingly with Galindo, but she's under California's legal age of consent and can't legally marry.

Police say arranged marriages involving underage girls have become a problem in this small Central Coast

Father Accused Of Selling Daughter For Beer
Police: Man Called Police After Not Getting Payments

GREENFIELD, Calif. -- A father is accused of trying to sell his 14-year-old daughter for marriage in hopes of getting money and 150 cases of beer in return, Greenfield police said.

Macelino de Jesus Martinez, 36, was arrested Monday on suspicion of trying to arrange to have his daughter marry Margarito de Jesus Galindo, 18, for $16,000, 100 cases of Corona, 50 cases of Modelo beer, several cases of meat, two cases of wine, 50 cases of Gatorade and 50 cases of soft drinks, authorities said.

The girl moved in with Galindo and when payments were not received, her father called police to get his daughter back.

Greenfield Police Chief Joe Grebmeier told KSBW Action News 8 that both Martinez and Galindo, who are immigrants from Mexico, face the possibility of being deported as illegal immigrants.

Grebmeier also said that both men didn’t fully understand that what they were doing was wrong.

Also, the girl told police that she willingly moved in with Galindo.

Arranged marriages are common in the section of Mexico where both Galindo and Martinez are from.

But California law prohibits arranged marriage where one or both of the parties have been coerced.

Galindo was arrested and booked into the Monterey County Jail on suspicion of statutory rape, and Martinez was arrested and booked on suspicion of receiving money for causing a person to cohabitate.

Grebmeier said that there have been rumors of arranged marriages taking place in the Greenfield area before, but that this was the first arrest concerning the act of human trafficking in the city that he knows of.

The case will head to the district attorney’s office Tuesday.

boy oh boy this monster is pretty sicko.

And these are the upstanding citizens that need to be legalized? God knows what abuse she has seen during her life from her papa so that marriage to some dude with 100 cases of beer and pounds of meat looks good. She has probably been emotionally beaten her entire life for not being a boy.
Why is it only Americans need to show compassion while all these folks have no compassion for anyone, including their own family? And they did not understand they were doing anything wrong? Just goes to show that they will not embrace the country that is feeding them, and their culture overrules any culture or mores we have in this country. I am angry that we have to accept them, while they will not accept us or our laws.

Thank you very much, I have been looking everywhere for info on him being illegal. We really need to make sure we post on this article wherever we can that this guy is an illegal, they comveinently left it out.

Actually we should be calling the ones putting out misinformation. Ask them why the facts are left out of the story.

SICKO. Look at the garbage that has illegally entered our country. And police say that these kind of "marriages" are becoming common in that area? FIND THEM AND DEPORT THEM!
