Three More Defendants Sentenced in Sex Trafficking Conspiracy
Three more defendants were sentenced in federal court for their roles in the sex trafficking of a young woman who was coerced into being a sex slave for several years while she was tortured in a trailer home located in a wooded area in Lebanon.
Kansas City, MO - infoZine - Michael Stokes, also known as “The Rodent,” 65, of Lebanon, Mo., and James Noel, 47, of Springfield, MO, were each sentenced to five years in federal prison without parole in separate hearings before U.S. District Judge Dean Whipple. Marilyn Bagley, 48, of Lebanon, was sentenced to five years of probation.
The court also ordered that $738,250 in total restitution must be paid to the victim. Each defendant is individually liable for $123,041, or one-sixth of the total amount.
On Dec. 6, 2012, Marilyn Bagley pleaded guilty to her role in the conspiracy to commit sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion. Marilyn Bagley admittedly knew that other individuals came to the residence to engage in sexual conduct and sadistic acts on the female victim (identified in court documents as FV). Over a six-year period, FV endured sadistic acts of torture, many of which were photographed and videotaped. FV would be punished if she did not do as instructed. Several individuals provided bondage pornography, meat, cigarettes, and cash, among other items, in exchange for the sessions involving sexual conduct and sadistic acts on FV.
The government stated in court at the time of her guilty plea that Marilyn Bagley is considered in a separate category from the other defendants in this case because she was a victim of extensive physical and emotional abuse by her husband, co-defendant Edward Bagley, Sr., also known as “Master Ed,” 46, for over 25 years prior to her criminal conduct and participation in the conspiracy. Her participation in the criminal conduct resulted in the abuse being redirected away from her and to the victim.
