Police: Bail bondsman freed jailed women for sex

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- A Virginia bail bondsman is facing charges for allegedly freeing women from jail on the condition that they would have sex with him, reports CBS affiliate WTVR.

Vladimir Tarabay of Fast Bail Bonding was arraigned Monday and charged with two counts of threat, intimidation for money and forcible sodomy.

Henrico County Mike Wade said in an interview with WTVR that Tarabay targeted jailed women who did not have enough money to pay their bonds.

"It's something we've heard of and tried to investigate in the past, but until we got these two women who came forward, and agreed to cooperate, it really started the ball rolling," Wade said.

WTVR reached Tarabay by phone, but he declined to discuss the allegations.
