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.

      I don’t think so. Dial it back to us being mammals, and just like any other animal, we have peak sexual periods in our lifespans, based around promotion of survival. It is unusual to be sexually attracted to something that opposes survival instincts. I can only assume, but with fair confidence, that very few creatures, if any, have sexual attraction to something where survival of offspring is compromised or even possible. Obviously age is a huge one.

      This is sexual attraction at its core. Instincts that promote genetics and survival. Let’s not try to think we’re better than all the other animals by suggesting intincts may be a mental problem. Not being attracted may be harsh, but it’s normal in nature.

        Nah. And gross rationalization.

        As an elder Millennial, I have zero interest in someone half my age. Or younger. Which, by your pseudo-intellectual stretching-to-fit analysis, is not a problem, and some 50 year old man is only fulfilling his natural-born instincts by chasing a 23 year old’s fecund womb.

        Emotional intelligence and availability, shared experiences, and common ground are also factors in potential mates. Add societal factors like education, financial stability, and you’re basically cutting out everyone under 30, given typical academic and professional advancement. Are you saying a 35 year old woman is no longer a viable sexual partner? Because that would be laughable. And sad, for you.

        If you wanted to be more archetypal, then fertile figures will look more like a woman in a Botero painting, or Venus of Willendorf.

          My pseudo-intellectual what?

          I’m talking Darwinism and your retort is personal experiences in your immediate single-generational society, letting us all know what you are and aren’t into in a partner.

          Literally, the topic is physical sexual attraction. Read OC. Unless you’re living life seeing grannies and thinking, “I really want to get to know them in case my pee-pee go boing-boing to their emotional intelligence and financial stability” I don’t think you’re immune to the same nature pseudo-intelligence as what’s being discussed.

          There’s two types of elder Millennials, as there are all the other generations; those that jerk off to college porn and liars.

          Note that I’m the original commenter rather than the one you’re replying to. I don’t want to talk about fertility but I do have a few questions for you.

          As an elder Millennial, I have zero interest in someone half my age. Or younger.

          I think you and I are about the same age. What do you mean by “interest” here?

          Emotional intelligence and availability, shared experiences, and common ground are also factors in potential mates. Add societal factors like education, financial stability…

          Those sound like your criteria for long-term compatibility rather than your criteria for sexual attraction. I think they are different things. I have met people who would have been great long-term relationship partners if not for the fact that I was not attracted to them. I have also met people I was very attracted to who turned out to be terrible partners.

          Some people (usually women) say that someone who wasn’t initially attractive to them became attractive once they learned what a good person he was. I was taught that judging people based on their appearance was shallow and wrong, so I tried very hard to make relationships with good people I wasn’t attracted to work. They never did. They were doomed from the start and there would have been less pain for everyone if I had been honest with myself immediately rather than pretending that my initial lack of attraction didn’t matter or that it could change with time.
