California man accused of sex trafficking using Medford hotels Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Feb. 23, 2016 at 1:54 PM Posted Feb. 23, 2016 at 1:54 PM » Social News A Tracy, Calif., man is accused of forcing a California woman into prostitution at Medford hotels over seven months in 2014. Virgil Rucker, 40, has been in the Jackson County Jail since July 22 on rape charges in a separate case, in which he is accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl he did not know in a motel on Alba Drive in 2014. Medford police added sex trafficking and prostitution charges Monday after the woman, who is in her early 20s, recently came forward, according to Lt. Mike Budreau. "We believe that Rucker used force and intimidation to get the victim to participate in the sex trade for profit," a release from Budreau said. Rucker was scheduled to be arraigned today in Jackson County Circuit Court on three counts each of trafficking, compelling prostitution and promoting prostitution.
