- BYJOHN MARZULLI

MIDDLE SCHOOL girls as young as 12-years-old were recruited by a Brooklyn couple and a single mom to strip and service adult men at sex parties, authoritie­s told the Daily News Friday.

The terrible trio used Facebook to carry out their unspeakabl­e scheme — Bryan Adams reviewed photos submitted by the girls too his wife,, Shandale Franklin, and Tatiana a Daniel whoo recruited the e victims, according too papers filed in iB Brooklynkl Fd Federal Court.

“Adams judged whether the girls were ‘too big’ for the child sex party,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Robotti wrote in a detention letter. “‘ She good for the part. But she kinda Big,’ ” Adams concluded after meeting one 15-year-old girl.

“The one from last time she kinda big so am trying to find a client that like gurls (sic) her size,” Franklin allegedly commented about another victim.

The sickos solicited girls between the ages of 12 and 15 to have sex with the men and pole dance at parties, authoritie­s said. Daniels mentions in a Facebook chat that there’s a party planned at the Marriott Hotel in Downtown Brooklyn and another at a club.

The girls were told they could earn $800 in a night and the men were “lawyers,y , doctors, teachers, w whatever,” according to court papers. “Just wear something cute, like nice panties and bras,” Daniels allegedly told a 12-year-old girl via Facebook. “Drinks, weed and food will be provided.”

The parties were held during the day so the girls were told they had to skip school. A girl begged off from meeting Daniel on a Friday afternoon because she had cheerleadi­ng practice.

It is unclear from the court papers whether a Jan. 20, 2014, party referred to in the Facebook chats took place, but Adams, 34, and Franklin, 24, both worked at FedEx before they were arrested and have two young children.

Daniel, 20, told authoritie­s her only income was a small amount of child support.

Their lawyers declined to comment on the shocking case.

All three are being held without bail. They each face a minimum of 15 years in prison if convicted of the sex-traffickin­g charges.
