Seven people were arrested in Alabama in connection with a child sex trafficking ring, in which kids as young as 3 were drugged, tortured and imprisoned in a filthy underground lair, where their tiny bodies were sold to sate the lust of perverted pedophiles, lawmen say.
Even more disturbing, some of the alleged traffickers are accused of abusing and pimping out their very own offspring for as much as $1,000 a night, according to court records cited by AL.com.
Authorities say suspects Rebecca Brewer, 29, Sara Louise Terrell, 41, Ricky Terrell, 44, Andres Velazquez-Trejo, 29, William Chase McElroy, 21, Dalton Terrell, 21, and Timothy St. John, 23, were cuffed on charges ranging from sexual torture and abuse to rape, human trafficking and kidnapping.
Officials allege that 10 victims ranging in age from 3 to 15 were subjected to vaginal, anal and oral attacks and abuse dating as far back as 2022 at a property owned by McElroy’s family.
According to prosecutors, the children were violated in a secluded storm shelter that contained a grimy mattress, a few chairs and concrete pillars.
Bibb County Assistant District Attorney Bryan Jones says two of the children were even forced to perform sex acts on each other after allegedly being instructed by McElroy.
According to AL.com’s report, Jones says Velazquez-Trejo — who is the father of three of the victims born to Brewer — would drug the drinks of the captives and adds, “He would tie one child to the bed, one child to a chair and one to one of the support poles.
“Then he would allow people to pay to have sex with the children.
“It’s hard to fathom that someone can do this to a child.”
Sara Terrell is even accused of using an animal shock collar on the genitals of at least one minor — both as a form of punishment and for sexual pleasure, according to court documents.
Jones says the Department of Homeland Security is involved in the case because the suspects could have an affiliation with the Mexican gang Sureños, which uses sex trafficking to fund their illicit activities.
“No child deserves this, the power and control of it, the stealing the innocence of a child and the horrible victimization they went through with these monsters,” said Sheriff Jody Wade, according to AL.com.
“I know God’s forgiveness is boundless, but if there is a limit, we’ve reached it.”
