An Indianapolis mother, Morgan Stapp, 32, faces charges of attempting to commit child sex trafficking after allegedly offering a stranger online the opportunity to sexually assault her 7-month-old daughter for $400, according to a probable cause affidavit cited by multiple outlets.
Arrest and Charges
Stapp was arrested on July 8, 2025, and later released on a $100,000 bond, court records show. She is the mother of seven children and is now represented by the Indiana Public Defender’s office after successfully filing for indigent status.
FBI Investigation Triggered by Snapchat
Authorities began investigating Stapp after Snapchat flagged attempted sex trafficking in November 2024. The FBI reported that the “morgan-stapp” Snapchat account sent three photos of her infant to another user, along with messages soliciting sex acts for payment.
Initially, Stapp told the FBI her account had been hacked and that she lost access to it. However, during a later interview with the Indiana Department of Child Services, she admitted to lying to agents, stating, “I wanted the FBI to leave.”
Digital Evidence Links Account to Stapp
Indianapolis Metro police obtained a search warrant and found selfies of Stapp saved to the account days after her FBI interview—contradicting her hacking claim. Records also showed over 7,000 messages sent from her account over three days in November, including 81 messages asking others to “buy my nudes so I can get baby diapers.”
IP address data confirmed that the messages originated near her Indianapolis home.
Upcoming Court Date
Stapp is scheduled to appear in court again on September 15, 2025. USA TODAY has reached out to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and Indianapolis Metro Police for further comment but has not received a response.
