JONESBORO, Ga., Jan. 8 (UPI) -- A Georgia woman has been charged with cooperating in her husband's sexual assaults on their daughter.

The woman, 33, allegedly gave her daughter vodka and told her to cooperate with her father's sexual demands, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. She faces a long list of charges, including rape, statutory rape, incest, aggravated child molestation, sodomy, enticing a child for indecent purposes and giving an underage person alcohol, the report said.

The alleged assaults took place between March and August last year in Riverdale in the Atlanta suburbs, warrants filed in Clayton County show. Police say that the couple moved from Atlanta and the daughter was also assaulted there.

Police are searching for the father, who faces similar charges, the report said.

According to one warrant, the father punished the girl until she complied with his demands. On one occasion, he allegedly forced her to stand in the living room for hours until at 3 a.m. she finally gave in to him.
