Mom, boyfriend arrested in plan to impregnate girl

Shana Brown

PITTSBURGH A mother was charged with giving her 13-year-old daughter drugs and alcohol so the woman's boyfriend could impregnate the girl without her knowing, police said Thursday.

Shana Brown, 32, of Uniontown is no longer able to have children but wanted to have a baby with her current boyfriend, Duane Calloway, said Uniontown Police Detective Donald Gmitter. The pair decided to drug the girl so Calloway, 40, could have sex with her, he added.

Brown, charged with endangering the welfare of a child, turned herself in Thursday and was being held in the Fayette County jail, police said. Brown's attorney did not return a call for comment.

Calloway faces several counts of attempted rape. He was arrested Wednesday and remains in jail. It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney.

The girl, who wasn't raped and didn't get pregnant, told police the plot was apparently hatched in December after she rejected her mother's proposal she allow Calloway to impregnate her and then marry him.

In the following months, Calloway tried to rape the girl three times, Gmitter said:

The first time, in February, the girl was alone with Calloway while her mother went out to buy pizza, according to the criminal complaint.

A few weeks later, the girl believes her mother spiked her Pepsi with rum, according to police.

The third time occurred in mid-March, when the girl told police she came home early from school because she was not feeling well. She said her mother forced her to drink tea.

In a search of the Brown residence, police said they found an empty rum bottle, Tylenol PM and a pill crusher.
