Talley played a role in a prostitution ring and was charged with the exploitation of a woman whose children were in foster care, and whose Children and Youth Services case was being managed by Talley.

Authorities said she enlisted women to work as prostitutes, drove them to and from jobs, and took a portion of the money from the illegal activity of the women she recruited back in 2017.

Talley was also accused of promising a victim that she would falsify any drug tests to ensure a favorable recommendation regarding the children's placement.
