BIBB COUNTY, Ala. (WIAT) — A fourth arrest was made in an alleged child sex trafficking ring in Bibb County.

Bibb County Assistant District Attorney Bryan Jones said Chilton County resident Timothy St. John, 23, was taken into custody by the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday afternoon.

St. John, who was indicted, is charged with two counts of first-degree rape, four counts of sodomy, four counts of human trafficking and three counts of kidnapping. He is also charged with bestiality and aggravated cruelty to animals.

St. John was booked into the Bibb County Jail with three men who were arrested earlier in the year in connection to the case. The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office launched a criminal investigation back in February following concerns about the sexual abuse of young children.

William McElroy, 21, Dalton Terrell, 21, and Andres Trejo-Velazquez, 29, were indicted July 11 on charges of rape, sodomy and human trafficking involving six children. The youngest victim was 3 years old, Jones said.

A seventh victim, who was not trafficked, was raped and sodomized by the three men, according to court documents.

Jones said the victims referred to the place that they were abused as a “bunker.” Jones described it as an old storm shelter on a property in Brent.

Jones said Trejo-Velazquez allegedly tied up and drugged four of the six children who were abused by the four men inside the storm shelter.

“The children were tied to the bed, to the chairs, to a pole, and these individuals would have sex with these children,” Jones said. “But also Mr. Trejo was allowing people to pay money to come in and have sex with the children.”

Senate Republicans are re-opening the Clinton email probe. It had to be done. Several thumb drives were never analyzed, with a detailed report showing that the FBI came up with laughable reasons not to do it, deviating from department policy.

As Matt Taibbi, a former contributing editor to Rolling Stone, noted, the 35-page annex to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's 2018 report on the DOJ’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server and the 2016 election was a Keystone Cops operation.

With such glaring incompetence, it was reported last night that this probe will be re-examined.

From Sen. Chuck Grassley's (R-IA) press release:

The DOJ OIG’s Clinton annex shows the FBI obtained thumb drives from a source during the Clinton investigation, but then-FBI Director James Comey, as well as then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and others, failed to perform additional, targeted searches of the drives, even though they contained information relevant to the inquiry. The DOJ OIG report illustrates that the FBI failed to thoroughly and completely investigate the Clinton matter as a result, as well as vet the serious national security risks created by Clinton’s careless handling of highly classified information. According to the DOJ OIG, the thumb drives contained highly sensitive information exfiltrated from U.S. government agencies, including the Department of State, as well as then-President Barack Obama’s emails and, potentially, congressional information. The thumb drives were never reviewed as part of the Clinton investigation, contrary to the recommendation of a draft FBI memorandum. The DOJ OIG report also shows the drives should have been immediately reviewed for foreign intelligence purposes, but were not.

The FBI also obtained intelligence reports discussing purported communications between Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), who was chairwoman of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) at the time, and two different individuals who worked for the Soros Open Society Foundations. The intelligence reports alleged that the Obama administration took efforts to scuttle the investigation into Clinton and protect her candidacy. The DOJ OIG Clinton annex shows Comey, McCabe and Strzok, among others, did not make serious investigative efforts to determine the veracity, or lack thereof, regarding the intelligence reports.

On July 5, 2016, Comey exonerated Clinton in a public statement regarding the investigation and recommended DOJ take no legal action to hold her accountable. Grassley’s oversight revealed Comey planned to exonerate Clinton even before interviewing her. Weeks later, on July 31, 2016, Comey’s FBI formally opened the bogus Crossfire Hurricane investigation into President Trump’s disproven collusion with Russia. On that day, Strzok texted Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer, saying: “And damn this feels momentous. Because this matters. The other one did, too, but that was to ensure we didn’t F something up. This matters because this MATTERS. So super glad to be on this voyage with you.”

Grassley cited Comey’s handling of the Clinton investigation as evidence that Comey lacked the ability to maintain the public’s trust in the FBI, and was therefore rightfully terminated.
