Montgomery County detectives are calling on the community to help find a convicted sex trafficker who disappeared after tampering with his ankle monitor.
Ernest Gerald Wilkerson who was convicted in February of two counts of sex trafficking and two prostitution-related charges, vanished a month later in March.
Police say his ankle monitor was tampered with on March 7, just weeks after his conviction. A bench warrant was issued for his arrest five days later, but Wilkerson remains at large.
Authorities are now renewing their efforts to locate Wilkerson and are offering a reward of up to $10,000 for tips leading to his arrest.
Wilkerson’s last known location was in Montgomery County before going rogue and has been missing ever since..
