Cocoa (Florida/USA) - An employee of a prison in the US state of Florida is currently on trial for releasing several women from custody - in exchange for sex.

As reported by"People" magazine, Russell "Bruce" Moncrief (75) was working as a bail bondsman - who helps people who cannot raise their own bail - when he increasingly promised prisoners freedom.

All they had to do: perform sexual acts on him or another person outside prison.

Moncrief had created code words for this purpose. One of his victims is said to have called him from prison and said that she wanted to "wash his car and lick his eyebrows".

But that was not all. Moncrief not only offered the women such immoral deals. He also threatened to revoke the bail of some of the prisoners if they did not get involved with him.

Once the women finally decided to have sex with him, the trade between them and Moncrief was far from over.

"After he bailed his victims out of jail, he continued to use his power over them to sell the women to others for sex for his own financial gain," said prosecutor Ashley Moody in an official press release.

Fortunately, this is now over. The 75-year-old's machinations have now been uncovered and Moncrief himself is now in custody.

And as if it were a form of karma: bail has not been set for him. This means that he will remain behind Swedish bars until his sentence is finalized.

And that will probably be a tough one: If he is found guilty of all charges - including extortion and human trafficking - he could spend up to 125 years behind bars.
