Court Hears New Details in Bibb County Case; More Suspects May Be Sought

On Friday, August 15, 2025, new and deeply unsettling testimony emerged in a Bibb County courtroom in connection with an alleged child sex abuse ring. Authorities now say the probe may expand to include 15 to 20 additional suspects, WBRC and WBMA reported.

During the hearing under Aniah’s Law—Alabama’s law that allows a judge to deny bond in cases involving serious violent crimes—five suspects were denied bond. Those held without bond are Rebecca Brewer, Olivia Elam, Timothy St. John, Sarah Terrell, and Rickey Terrell. Previously, three others—Andres Trejo-Velazquez, Dalton Terrell, and Chase McElroy—were already denied bond under the same law.

Seven of the eight suspects entered pleas of “not guilty.” One suspect, Dalton Terrell, did not enter a plea due to his attorney’s absence in court.

Detective Justin Hobbs, representing the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, delivered disturbing testimony. He said investigators discovered children had been drugged—reports describe liquids known as “liquid G,” “G water,” or “liquid ecstasy” mixed into drinks—and given to victims aged 2 to 15. In some cases, the drink was administered from bottles to render the children unconscious.

Inside the underground storm shelter—first entered by investigators in early February 2025—agents found a makeshift setup, including a bed, chair, sink, and toilet. Co-defendants described how children were tied to these pieces of furniture. Financial records reportedly tie one suspect, Ricky Terrell, to the shelter. When authorities returned in April, the site had been cleaned with bleach, a bed was missing, and water pooled on the floor. Investigators also discovered a soiled diaper. DNA testing and forensic analysis are ongoing.

Detective Hobbs added that at least 15 to 20 other individuals may have paid to enter the bunker to sexually abuse the children.
