This definitely sounds like old-fashioned conservative family values.


Court records released after Friday's arraignment contain a transcript of a recorded call in which McAllister and a woman who rents property from him talk about the extra money she could earn if she went to other farms to have sex with farm workers. In the call, McAllister responds "yes" when the woman says he would take half of what she earned from the sex to help pay her rent.

McAllister says: "That's totally up to you. I mean, we were trying to figure out a way to get you money."

The woman told investigators that when a worker was injured while teaching her how to drive a tractor, McAllister said her punishment for causing the injury would be allowing him to perform a sexual act on her. She estimated she had sex with McAllister once or twice a month and said she felt she had to do it to keep her housing, according to the affidavit.

Another woman who worked for McAllister on his farm said the sexual acts were "definitely not" consensual. "I was screaming no at him and he still ... went for it," she told investigators.

McAllister is charged with three counts each of sexual assault and prohibited acts. Police had initially recommended a human trafficking charge but prosecutors said the accusations didn't match the spirit of that law.
