A man charged in connection with a human trafficking case in Lexington now faces more serious charges.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports a Fayette County Grand Jury indicted Calvin Walker on two human trafficking charges.

Police say Walker lured two women to Lexington then forced them to work at a strip club then took their money.

The women also say Walker tried to keep them from leaving.

In December, police downgraded Walker's charges to promoting human trafficking but the grand jury returned stiffer indictments.

Walker has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

If indeed he lured them, forced them to work, took their money and tried to keep them from leaving ... that's classic trafficking ... For resources and reports on human trafficking, check out http://gvnet.com/humantrafficking/

You have got to be kidding me. Let me see if I've got this correct, If a man decides to kidnap a few women, and force them to work, or do his bidding (modern day slavery) he's only going to get 5-10 years? This man is already out on bond so he can do this again? Oh hell no, this isn't even right! This man desperately needs a taste of his own medicine. Just another reason to add to the multitudes of why I hate this state!
