the defendant, 48-year-old Brian David “Blaze” Boersma, intended to sell the young girl to a pimp for sex, and said he revealed the “worst parts of human depravity,” adding that his plea provided only small comfort to those who may have been victims.

Boersma worked as a driver at a co-op in Decatur, Ala., shuttling trailers from a storage yard to a warehouse. The Department of Justice alleges that Boersma asked a co-worker to find someone he could pay to kidnap a woman and her daughter.
The coworker alerted the FBI, who sent two undercover employees to pose as “willing kidnappers,” the DOJ said.
In his plea agreement, the DOJ says Boersma wanted to sell the 14-year-old child to a pimp in Memphis, Tenn., for as much as $40,000, a premium because she was a “young, clean virgin.”
He had rigged a trailer with a mattress and restraints, along with a “sex machine” he could tie the mother to in order for her to be beaten and raped, the DOJ says.
Boersma claimed the kidnapping was the brainchild of the woman’s ex-husband, whom he said wanted the two kidnapped because the mother had divorced him and taken him to court for child support, according to the DOJ.
The department said Boersma had laid a plastic tarp down in the trailer to clean up an expected “bloody mess” after he planned to invite the ex-husband to beat her with a bullwhip, and that when the mother was dead, he would bury her in the ground along with 300 pounds of lime to help dissolve the corpse.
Boersma and the co-worker met at a hotel on Oct. 10 along with the undercover agents, where the DOJ says Boersma gave them photos of the intended victims and handed over $3,440 as payment before leading them to the woman’s work and home. He then showed them the trailer he had prepared with the restraints and “sex machine,” the DOJ says.

Boersma pleaded guilty to attempted kidnapping of a minor, attempted kidnapping, attempted sex trafficking of a child, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possessing a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime.
No sentencing date has been set, but he could face decades in prison if a judge hands down maximum penalties.
When he was first arrested, social media rumors circulated that he was part of some sort of gang that was involved in trafficking people, which the police department denied, reported the Decatur Daily.
