A
Milwaukee real estate agent is accused of running a sex trafficking operation from his home, where women were allegedly forced to sign contracts requiring obedience and sex on demand. Austin Chronister, who also works as a private investigator, faces human trafficking and sexual assault charges.

    According to court records, victims were subjected to violent assaults at the Concordia neighborhood house, which was part of an unconventional sex arrangement involving bondage and domination. The women were assigned "slave numbers" and made to wear collars.

    One victim spoke out in court, urging a judge to keep Chronister's bond conditions in place, including a 24-hour curfew and no-contact with his girlfriend Christin Saint Pierre, a Milwaukee criminal defense attorney. A judge ruled that these restrictions would remain in effect after hearing from Pierre, who expressed her desire to have contact with Chronister and stated she did not fear him.
