A Wisconsin realtor named Austin Parie Chronister, 38, has been accused of sexually assaulting at least two women and forcing them into a situation where they were held captive for years in his Milwaukee, Wisconsin home. The victims alleged that Chronister, along with assistance from a Milwaukee attorney identified as Christin Saint Pierre, subjected them to physical and sexual abuse, and threatened them to prevent them from leaving the residence.
The women claimed that they were required to sign contracts that demanded them to engage in sexual activities on demand and wear collars as reminders of their servitude. Allegations include branding the women with “slave tattoos” and assigning them “slave numbers.” The victims also reported incidents of violent abuse, including one woman being placed in a headlock during non-consensual sex until she lost consciousness, and another woman being physically assaulted when she tried to leave.
Further accusations include Saint Pierre withholding paychecks, social security cards, and birth certificates from the victims. The residence where these crimes reportedly took place is jointly owned by Chronister and Saint Pierre, with the victims being forced to change their last names to “Saint Pierre” and the house being referred to as “House Saint Pierre.”
Chronister faces charges of human trafficking, sexual assault, false imprisonment, and domestic abuse. He is currently held on a $75,000 bond, with no plea information available at this time.
