HORRIFYING: Police Bust Underground S*x Trafficking Ring in Alabama, Rescue Children As Young as Age 3!

In a nightmare scenario that has shaken Bibb County, Alabama, authorities rescued several children—ages 3 to 10—who were discovered in an underground bunker where they had been held captive, abused, and trafficked in what officials are calling one of the most disturbing crimes in recent memory.

The bunker, located near the home of one of the suspects, had been converted into a makeshift storm shelter—its walls now stained with a far darker purpose. According to officials, the children were found restrained, drugged with a mysterious white powder substance, and subjected to repeated rape, sodomy, and psychological torture. Investigators believe the abuse spanned over a year, with the children entirely cut off from the outside world.

Tragically, some of the young victims were reportedly made to perform sexual acts on each other—acts they say they were taught by one of the perpetrators. Police confirmed the children were being trafficked and “sold” to clients for sex.

“It’s hard to hear their stories and harder still to see what they were forced to live through,” said Bibb County District Attorney Michael Jackson. “Some were drugged so heavily they don’t even remember much. That may be the only mercy in this horror.”

Three men have been indicted so far:

• William McElroy, whose property housed the bunker, faces 20+ charges including first-degree rape, sodomy, kidnapping, and human trafficking.
• Dalton Terrell is charged with six counts of rape, 12 of sodomy, and five counts of human trafficking.
• Andres Trejo is charged with six counts of human trafficking.

A fourth suspect, Timothy St. John, was arrested July 22 and faces charges of rape, sodomy, kidnapping—and disturbingly, bestiality and animal abuse.

Authorities suspect up to 12 additional men may have paid to rape these children, but their identities remain unknown. The children, now in the care of DHR (Department of Human Resources), cannot identify these individuals.

“We need the public’s help,” said Assistant DA Robert L. Turner. “The children can’t tell us who did this to them. Someone out there knows something. Please come forward.”

Officials fear more victims may still be out there.
