Brett Easterbrook

I want to pivot a little bit to, um, a not fun story, but I'd love to get a comment from you if you have one.

Representative Brett Easterbrook was arrested last week on Class A felony charges for human trafficking, allegedly of a minor.

I, Republican leadership has been very quiet about this, and I'm curious if you would like to make a comment.

Yeah, so I, I've served with Brett.

Yeah.

And, uh, coming up on the Jeff Poor Show, you have Todd Stacy with Alabama Daily News.

Attorney General Steve Marshall, and, uh, I know this week he's had some interesting things to say about that bust in Escambia County involving, uh, State Representative Brett Easterbrook and a couple other local, uh, public officials.

Uh, so I'm looking forward to s- hearing what, uh, Steve Marshall has to say, and also some other things going on with the Attorney General's office in Alabama.

And then in hour number three, State Senator Chris Elliott set to join Jeff, and, uh, that's all coming up on the way.

It's, it's been bizarre to watch this unfold, because nobody's talking about it.

Earlier this week, Brett Easterbrook, who I don't really know, he's a Republican state representative from Fruitdale, Alabama, which I don't even know where Fruitdale is.

Anyway, he was arrested and, and details have been scarce, but this is what I can gather.

He was charged, okay, with first-degree human trafficking, a Class A felony that can be s- you can be sentenced to up to life in prison, and soliciting prostitution.

Yes.

We have not heard from the speaker of the house.

Now, Easterbrook is not running for re-election, okay?

So is-

And I think when we're able to see the successes even of what took place in Escambia County, uh, just last week, it's a reflection of where hard work and dedication of law enforcement and those that work with victims can be availed.

I- I'm just gonna go there from the beginning because no one seems to be talking about this, but one of the people arrested was a state representative, Brett Easterbrook, out of Fruitdale, Alabama, and he has been charged with, um, first degree tra- trafficking, which you can hold them up to life in prison.

It's not a small charge.

Reports and information are very scarce, and nobody's really talking about it.

Yeah

... that was, was, was involved.

Now, the, the attempted human trafficking for the state representative is obviously a different, different animal, and it still would fall in the felony ranks.

But, you know, the thing that's important for the training of law enforcement, and it's why, I mean, look, y'all both know what, uh, Covenant Rescue has done, right, with Jared and his team.

A state lawmaker was one of the 17 men arrested in Atmore as part of an undercover sting operation that was targeting human trafficking and prostitution.

State Representative Brett Easterbrook of Fruitdale was taken into police custody last week.

This operation was conducted over three days and involved undercover agents posing as minors online who appeared to be engaging in prostitution.

Investigators detailed in their documents against Easterbrook that he agreed to pay $500 in cash to have sex with an escort under the age of 19.
