ALABAMA – A suspect was arrested on human trafficking, rape and other charges Thursday in Huntsville by two north Alabama sheriff’s offices, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday night.
Grady Paul Gaston, 60, was arrested without incident Thursday by the Madison and Limestone county sheriff’s offices at 2628 Trailway Road in Huntsville.
“These individuals are truly the worst of the worst in society. I can promise you, we will not stop targeting human trafficking until we put a stop to this despicable trade in Madison County as well as surrounding counties around our state,” said Madison County Sheriff Kevin Turner in a statement. “While I am the sheriff, my department will strive to protect our citizens, especially those that need us most, our children”.
In addition to human trafficking and rape, Gaston was charged with bribing a witness, possession of pornographic material and possession of a controlled substance, Turner said.
