A trial date was set this week for the Delaware mother accused of attempting to sell her baby and the Northeast Philadelphia man who allegedly tried to buy the boy.
Bridget Wismer, 33, and John Gavaghan, 54, are charged with conspiracy, dealing in children and falsifying a birth certificate.
Both of the accused entered not guilty pleas and will be tried together, according to the News Journal.
The trial is set for Feb. 7.
Wismer reportedly tried to sell her newborn son for $15,000 so she could take her other two sons on a trip to Disney World, according to court documents.
It was all a big misunderstanding, according to Wismer.
"My friend was helping me take care of my son that I just had," Wismer told NBC10 after her arrest, "He’s always tried to adopt and I couldn’t raise another child."
Wismer was arrested Sept. 30 at her home in New Castle County, Del. after she and Gavaghan were caught on a surveillance camera taking care of the last bit of paperwork, according to New Castle County detectives.
Wismer and Gavaghan were both free on bail. Wismer, who is being electronically monitored, was ordered to undergo mental health and substance abuse evaluations.
