A mother confronted a neighbor who alleged raped her 7-year-old son and threatened to call police, but accepted $600 to let the man molest her son again, authorities said.

The 30-year-old unemployed mother was charged Tuesday with capital sexual battery and child abuse. The neighbor, Nicholas Quiles, 48, has been charged with capital sexual battery. Both are being held without bail.

The sexual assaults happened the first two weeks of February, Lt. Jeffrey Harrington said.
