Steve Marshall announces arrest of Montgomery County man for human trafficking

On Friday, Attorney General Steve Marshall (R) announced the arrest of a Montgomery County man on a charge of Human Trafficking in the First Degree for commercial sex acts involving a juvenile.

Terrell Bailey, age 27, of Montgomery, was arrested on Thursday by Special Agents of the Attorney General's Office with assistance from the United States Marshals Service and the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office and taken to the Montgomery County Jail.

Bailey was arrested on a complaint and warrant brought by Special Agents of the Attorney General's Office. Specifically, he is charged with one count of Human Trafficking in the First Degree for commercial sex acts involving a juvenile, a class A felony. If convicted, he faces a penalty of 10 to 99 years or up to life in prison.

No further information about the investigation or about Bailey's alleged crime other than that stated in the warrant may be released at this time.

*An arrest warrant is merely an accusation. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law by a jury of his peers.

Human traffickers exploit girls, women, boys, and small children in the booming sex industry. Traffickers increasingly find their customers online.
