WALDRON, Ark. (AP) — Waldron's mayor was released on a signature bond Wednesday after being accused of soliciting two women for sex after they fell behind on their water bills.

Troy Anderson, 72, is accused of abusing the public trust and patronizing a prostitute. After hearing complaints about delinquent water bills, Anderson solicited sex from the women, authorities said.

In January, a woman who said she had refused Anderson's requests went to the mayor for help in getting her granddaughter out of state Department of Health and Human Services custody. The mayor told the woman he might be able to help, and that she should meet him at an apartment, the affidavit said.

The woman wore a recording device when she met Anderson at the apartment, and Anderson offered her $100 for sex, the affidavit said. She said the mayor grabbed her and exposed himself.

Another woman told investigators that she'd been having sex with Anderson for money for the past eight to 10 years. She said Anderson paid her $25 per encounter and that he allowed her to change the name on her overdue water bill, which kept her water turned on, the affidavit said.

Story continues



The mayor also gave the woman $60 to pay a late water deposit in exchange for sex, the affidavit said. The woman's bill was $617 overdue, the affidavit said.

In February, the second woman wore a recording device when Anderson picked her up for a sexual encounter that netted her $20, authorities said.

Anderson did not return calls seeking comment Tuesday and Wednesday.

The mayor was charged with two counts of abuse of public trust -- a felony -- and four counts of patronizing a prostitute, a misdemeanor.

Judge Donald Goodner on Wednesday said Anderson was not a flight risk and released him on signature bond, according to the Scott County Circuit Clerk's Office. Goodner set an arraignment for July 6.

luvbug00 replied: that's just great..( insert sarcasum) what is wrong with people today?

coasterqueen replied: You know he is a sick one, but IMO I think those women are just as much to blame. If they have issues enough that they think the ONLY way to keep water turned on, etc is to sleep with someone for money......they are just as much at fault. There's a lot left out of this story I'm sure.

C&K*s Mommie replied: I agree with Karen. It is sick on both sides, but I am glad the last woman he solicited had enough wherewithall to use a recording device, and pull him from office because of this.

My2Beauties replied:
Oh yes I am sure! And I agree with you 100%!

But as a woman.. If I was a ..ummm woman who got paid for sex..lol I wouldn't even wink at a man for $20 or $60.00 That is crazy~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Seriously - I mean - my BRA cost 60$ - it should cost him at least triple to have me even think about taking it off.

Then there's the rest of my clothes...

Not to mention my emotional state, physical state...

I don't think there's an amount of money that could be pid in exchange for my most intimate symbol of love. Course, for my dh, I'd do it for free.
