Nikita Tyukalo, accused of running a human trafficking operation in Bellevue-area homes, promised recruits easy money from platforms like OnlyFans but allegedly forced them into 14- to 20-hour shifts, controlled their earnings, and subjected them to abuse including beatings and threats. A King County judge on Tuesday rejected his request to lower the $5 million bail, citing flight risk and danger to victims, despite his lawyers’ claims of no prior record and lost assets. One victim testified to watching manipulation become normal, while prosecutors pointed to his jail calls directing family to move money.
