BIBB COUNTY, ALABAMA, JUL 20 – Seven suspects, including family members, face charges of rape, human trafficking, and sexual torture involving at least six children held captive and abused in an underground bunker in Alabama.

  • On July 11, 2025, three men from Brent, Alabama, were indicted for sexually abusing minors who were held in a concealed bunker within Bibb County.
  • The Bibb County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation on February 4, 2025, following reports of child sexual abuse involving six children aged 3 to 10 in a storm shelter used as a bunker.
  • William Chase McElroy and Dalton Terrell face several charges, including first-degree rape, sodomy, human trafficking, and kidnapping, while Andres Trejo-Velazquez has been indicted on six separate counts related to first-degree human trafficking.
  • Sheriff Jody Wade emphasized that Bibb County will not accept such unacceptable actions, and those responsible will be prosecuted as harshly as the law allows, while the victims remain in state care and additional arrests are anticipated.
