Brent, Ala. (WDNews) — Three individuals accused in a Bibb County child sex trafficking investigation have waived their right to a bond hearing under Aniah’s Law and are now set for a preliminary hearing on August 21 at 1 p.m.
The suspects, Rebecca Brewer, Sara Terrell, and Ricky Terrell, were expected in court Thursday for hearings under the provisions of Aniah’s Law, which allows judges to deny bond for suspects charged with serious violent crimes beyond capital murder, including rape, sexual torture, kidnapping, and sodomy.
According to court documents, the suspects chose to waive their right to contest bond, which effectively canceled the need for Thursday’s hearing.
Authorities say all three face multiple felony charges, including first-degree rape, sexual torture and human trafficking.
The investigation continues as law enforcement officials work to uncover the full scope of the trafficking operation.
