APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – The Wisconsin Department of Justice announced on Tuesday that an Appleton man is being charged with human trafficking, delivering heroin, running a drug trafficking home, and reckless injury.
Willie Allison will face up to possibly 152 years in prison as a result of those charges.
“This deeply upsetting case is a reminder that buying sex is not a victimless crime,” commented Attorney General Brad Schimel in a press release. “State and local law enforcement, prosecutors, and victim service professionals worked hard to bring justice to the victims in this case to put this trafficker behind bars. Now the community and these survivors will be safe from this violent criminal.”
Appleton police and fire previously responded to an area home and saved a woman that overdosed on heroin that was provided to her from Allison. According to the DOJ, he fled the scene after the woman became unconscious.
Following the incident, he continued to sell heroin and used a website to advertise to women that would have sex for money.
According to the DOJ, Allison would force women into prostitution by withholding food, using drugs such as heroin and cocaine, and beating them.
He currently awaits sentencing.
