A bail bondsman in South Carolina was recently arrested for blackmail and human trafficking for forced labor or services after it was discovered that he forced a woman to do sexual favors and household chores for him in exchange for bail.
Curtis Jackson Maroney, a licensed bondsman in South Carolina, posted $16,122.50 bail for a 39-year-old woman who had been arrested for DUI for the second time, driving uninsured, possessing a controlled substance, hit and run with property damage and driving with a suspended license. He then took her home with him to cook, clean and sexually service him.
Once home, Maroney allegedly told the woman that she would do all the housework and provide him with sexual gratification or he would revoke her bond and return her to jail.
From August 12 to August 17, the woman was constantly watched and held captive until she was able to talk Maroney into driving her to visit her two children at her dad’s house. While Maroney waited in the car, she grabbed the opportunity to call the cops.
Maroney will not have the opportunity to perform sexual favors in exchange for bail, as the judge has ordered him to remain behind bars until his trial.
