Moncrief, 75, reportedly coerced women into sexual acts for his financial gain after bailing them out. Authorities say he threatened to revoke their bonds if they refused to comply. Investigators found that Moncrief's scheme has been ongoing for over a decade. He is also linked to an attorney previously charged with human trafficking in 2020.
