A Wyoming couple accused of abusing a teenage girl during group sex for more than a year could face prison sentences amounting to centuries.
Felony charges filed against Jennifer Renee Fahrney, 39, and Richard Allen Turner, 56, could see the duo spend the rest of their lives behind bars, reports Cowboy State Daily.
Fahrney is facing 66 felonies — various sex crimes against a child totalling 57 counts and nine charges for exposing a child to drugs — that could add up to 858 years in prison.
Turner is facing two separate cases filed by prosecutors.
In one case, he is facing 13 counts of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor, each punishable with life in prison. Turner is also accused of three drug offences involving a minor, punishable by up to 20 years in prison for each conviction, and three child abuse offences, which would top out at 10 years each.
In the other, Turner is accused of 24 counts of child pornography possession, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Charges from both cases against Turner also involve fines of between $10,000 and $20,000 for each conviction.
According to an evidentiary affidavit, Fahrney is accused of including the teen in group sex acts with her boyfriend Turner for more than a year. She is also alleged to have watched Turner and the girl perform sex acts.

The affidavit said the victim told a Rock Springs Police Department detective that someone helped inject meth into her arm and that she had sex with Turner.
The detective said the girl refused to say who injected her with the drug.
Three search warrants were granted for cellphones used by Turner, Fahrney and the girl.
A search of Turner’s phone found child pornography, the affidavit alleged.
A review of Fahrney’s cell showed text messages with a contact named “My Biggest Mistake” that coordinated plans to have sex with the girl and other people.
According to court documents, Turner’s phone contained countless files of child pornography. The alleged victim also accused Turner of performing sex acts either on her or with her numerous times.
