The community of Brent, Alabama has joined the ranks of cities and counties that “host” child sex trafficking rings. The local sheriff’s department arrested seven people, including the parents and family members of some of the child victims. At least 10 children between the ages of 3 and 15 were victimized and authorities believe there are other survivors.
The crimes took place at an old bunker/storm shelter in a wooded area, where the defendants are alleged to have drugged and then abused, tortured and raped children. A local resident asked: “How did no one know?”
The arrests were announced in late July:
An attorney for one of these monsters (father to three of the victims) looks forward to demonstrating his client’s innocence at trial. Better get real–I don’t think your client will be eligible for an Outward Bound-type/white collar prison camp placement like convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. Start advising your client about the virtues of “acceptance of responsibility” at sentencing and preparing your client for the long haul in an awful Alabama Big House. No walking paths and no yoga classes.
