Russell Bruce Moncrief, 75, faces counts of human trafficking and racketeering over ‘sickening scheme’

A bail bondsman is facing criminal charges in Florida for allegedly approaching incarcerated women and offering to bond them out if they give him sex in return.

Russell Bruce Moncrief faces counts of human trafficking and racketeering – along with accusations that he used his authority within the criminal justice system to prey on particularly vulnerable women, said a recent news release from the office of the state’s attorney general, Ashley Moody.

Moody’s office said Moncrief, 75, would target women jailed on accusations involving sex work or drugs, including in Orange county, where Orlando is. He would propose posting their bonds to await the outcomes of their cases from out of custody if they agreed to have sex with him afterward, Moody’s office alleged.

    End cash bail. Either people are a danger to society / flight risk, or they are not. Money doesn’t make a difference other than increasing the flight risk.

    I just don’t get all these old guys still going it. Who’s 75 with literal criminal levels of libido?

    Just fucking retire, man. Go play golf. Put the ol’ dick away, no one wants it anymore, go enjoy some sunsets.

        Not all older people are sexually attracted to other older people. A 70-year-old friend of mine confessed that he’s sad and frustrated because any woman he is attracted to is way too young for him. (He’s not a creep who would actually bother younger women.)

        I worry about this myself. I’m still young enough that I think women my own age are attractive, but to be honest I can’t imagine being attracted to a retirement-aged woman unless she is one of those celebrities who have a hidden painting that ages instead of them.

          People aren’t aging as poorly as they used too. Also, outpatient cosmetic treatments and surgery a lot more accessible then they used to be. I wouldn’t worry about it too much as long as you also keep up your appearances.
