Authorities in Bibb County, Alabama have confirmed the existence of a child sex trafficking ring operating out of an underground storm shelter near the town of Brent. The investigation began in February 2025 after a tip from the Department of Human Resources. Prosecutors say the abuse was systematic, prolonged, and involved multiple perpetrators. The youngest victim was 3 years old. The oldest was 10.
The shelter was located beneath a concrete pad next to a residential property. Inside were beds, chairs, restraints, and a pole. Children were reportedly drugged and tied to furniture. Prosecutors say individuals paid money to enter the bunker and sexually assault the children. Assistant District Attorney Brian Jones said, “They were tied to the bed, into the chair, into a pole. And then people would come and pay money to have sex with these children.”
Four men have been indicted so far. All are being held without bond.
William McElroy, 21 Four counts of first-degree rape Six counts of first-degree human trafficking Six counts of first-degree sodomy Four counts of first-degree kidnapping
Dalton Terrell, 21 Six counts of first-degree rape Twelve counts of first-degree sodomy Five counts of first-degree human trafficking
Andres Trejo-Velazquez, 29 Six counts of first-degree human trafficking
Timothy St. John, 23 Two counts of first-degree rape Four counts of sodomy Three counts of kidnapping One count of bestiality One count of aggravated animal cruelty
Court documents show the abuse may have started in 2022. Victims were sedated with unknown substances. Some cannot recall details. Others described being restrained and assaulted repeatedly. Investigators say the traffickers earned up to $1,000 per night. The shelter was disguised as a storm bunker and hidden under a carport.
Sheriff Jody Wade said, “I’ve been in law enforcement for 33 years. This is the most horrible thing I’ve ever seen when it comes to the victimization of children.” He confirmed more arrests are expected. One additional suspect has already been indicted but not yet located.
The six confirmed victims are now under the care of the Alabama Department of Human Resources and the Central Alabama Regional Child Advocacy Center. Officials say the children will require long-term therapy. Some may never fully recover.
A pastor in Brent said, “We didn’t know this was happening in our backyard.” A neighbor said she saw strange activity near the property but didn’t report it. A teacher in Tuscaloosa said, “This case will haunt our community for years.”
Under Alabama law, any conviction involving a child under six carries a mandatory life sentence without parole. Prosecutors say they will pursue the maximum penalty.
The investigation is ongoing. Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.
