Honk News (Milwaukee, WI) – A realtor from Wisconsin faces allegations of sexually assaulting at least two women, marking them with tattoos signifying they were “sex slaves,” and holding them captive for years, according to police claims.
Austin Parie Chronister, 38, has been charged with multiple crimes, including human trafficking, sexual assault, and false imprisonment, said to have occurred at his residence in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as per online court records.
Chronister was apprehended on Thursday, March 13, Milwaukee County jail records confirm. The criminal complaint alleges that during his abusive actions, he was aided by a Milwaukee attorney named Christin Saint Pierre, who has not faced charges.
Per the complaint, two women reported to police that Chronister subjected them to severe physical and sexual abuse while using threats to prevent their escape. The abuse reportedly began in 2020, though the full duration remains unclear, according to the cited outlets.
One woman claimed she was forced to sign a contract mandating “sex upon demand” and to wear a collar as a sign of being “evaluated for service,” as noted by WISN from the complaint. She further accused Chronister of tattooing the women with “slave tattoos” and assigning them “slave numbers,” treating them as “sex slaves.”
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s review of the complaint, one woman alleged Chronister choked her into unconsciousness during non-consensual sex. Another reported that in 2023, when she tried to leave, he beat her until she blacked out, waking to find him assaulting her.
Additionally, one woman told police that Saint Pierre controlled her paychecks and withheld her social security card and birth certificate, storing them in a safe box, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Chronister faces charges of human trafficking, sexual assault, false imprisonment, and domestic abuse, per court records. He is currently detained with a $75,000 bond, though plea details are not available in the records.
