AURORA, Ill. - A judge has granted the state's motion to deny pre-trial release for an Aurora man accused of trafficking an 18-year-old woman from West Virginia into prostitution.

According to the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office, on Nov. 22, the Aurora Police Department received information regarding online advertisements for prostitution. Over the course of the investigation, officers were led to believe the alleged prostitution happened at 43-year-old Christopher Munger's home, located in the 100 block of North Gregory Street.

On Dec. 11, undercover officers with the Aurora Police Department went to Munger's home after arranging to meet for sex acts. It is alleged that at the time of the scheduled appointment, the officer gave the woman $400, which she then slid under another door in Munger's home, according to investigators.

Officials said the officer then told the woman he was going to leave. When he left the room, he reportedly saw a man, identified as Munger, picking up the $400 the woman had slid under the door. Munger was then taken into custody.

It is believed Munger met the woman online, drove to West Virginia to pick her up and brought her to Aurora. According to officials, the investigation revealed that the woman had no family in West Virginia and was reported missing when she did not return to a group home where she was living.

Munger has been charged with one count of trafficking in persons, two counts of involuntary servitude and one count of promoting prostitution.
