Bibb County Sheriff Jody Wade says that arrests in the horrific Alabama child sex trafficking ring continue as investigators uncover more evidence. The sheriff said he believes the leader of the ring has ties to the Sureños gang.
The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office now has seven suspects in custody after finding children being held captive, drugged, and sexually abused in a storm shelter in Brent, Alabama. Assistant District Attorney Bryan Jones told Breitbart Texas they expect additional charges to be filed.
“I’ve been in law enforcement for 33 years, and this is absolutely the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen when it comes to the victimization of children,” Bibb County Sheriff Jody Wade told reporters at a press conference. “Like I say, I know God’s forgiveness is boundless. But if there was a limit to it, I think we reached it.”
Breitbart Texas reported on Wednesday that police arrested four suspects in the child sex trafficking case. Since that time, investigators arrested three more suspects. According to CBS42.com, those suspects are: William Chase McElroy, Dalton Terrell, Andres Trejo-Velazquez, Timothy St. John, Rebecca Brewer, Ricky Terrell, and Sara Terrell.
Sheriff Wade told reporters that he believes the case could be tied to the Sureños gang. He said the game is funded chiefly through child sex trafficking.
One of the suspects, Timothy St. John, is also facing charges of bestiality and aggravated cruelty to animals.
“No child deserves this,” Wade said. “That’s the most horrible thing you can do. The power and control of it, the stealing the innocence of a child and the horrible victimizations they went through with these monsters.” --->READ MORE HERE
At least 10 children, as young as 2 years old, were held captive in an Alabama storm bunker for three years and sexually tortured through the use of tools like animal shock collars as part of a horrific sex-trafficking ring organized by some of the victims’ own parents, police said.
So far, seven suspects have been arrested as part of the roundup of the ring, including three family members and two mothers whose children were also trapped and abused in the basement, the Bibb County Sheriff’s Department said.
“I know God’s forgiveness is boundless, but if there is a limit, we’ve reached it,” Bibb County Sheriff Jody Wade said at a press conference Wednesday.
Rebecca Brewer, 29, Sara Louise Terrell, 41, Ricky Terrell, 44, Dalton Terrell, 21, William Chase McElroy, 21, Andres Velazquez-Trejo, 29, and Timothy St. John, 23, all face a laundry list of charges ranging from sodomy and rape to sexual torture and human trafficking.
Each player arrested thus far played a specific role in the ring, according to investigators.
Velazquez-Trejo would allegedly drug the young victims — all between the ages of 2 and 15 years — by putting a white powder in their drinks before bringing in clients who would pay up to $1,000 to have sex with the children.
Through it all, the selected children would be tied up during the act, often to the limited furniture in the room, including a grimy mattress, a chair, and a support pole, Bibb County Assistant District Attorney Bryan Jones said.
The house itself was either owned by or near a home belonging to McElroy’s elderly grandparent, Jones said.
Two of the victims who were forced to perform sexual acts on each other told authorities that McElroy was the one who had both taught them the process and performed it on them himself, Jones said.
Sara Louise Terrell allegedly placed animal shock collars on the victims, which the suspects would use on the children’s genitals as a form of punishment and self-serving sexual gratification, according to public court documents. --->READ MORE HERE
