A mother and father have been arrested amid accusations they forced their 12–year-old daughter to have sex with a stranger while they filmed the rapes.
Married couple Ricardo Navarro Allende and Lorena Isela Cortinas are said to have sold the tapes as part of a child pornography ring in a bid to raise money.
Cortinas reportedly claimed they were doing it in return for a new house and a van.
The alarm was raised by the girl's grandmother, who reported the pair to police.
She told officers her granddaughter was being filmed having sexual intercourse with a man in the town for money.
The alleged incidents happened in Ciudad Juarez, in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico.
The couple are now being held in custody after the Special Prosecutor for Attention to Women Victims of Crime accused the couple of forcing their daughter to have sex.
Allende and Cortinas are accused of organising secret meetings at hotels several times in the past few months.
Police say the mother usually recorded her daughter on video having sex with the man and occasionally also took pictures of the girl naked.
They added that she claimed the man had promised them a van and a new house if they co-operated.
A spokesman for the Mexican police said: "We are investigating whether the family was part of a gang or a network trafficking in child pornography."
