Indianapolis, Indiana — July 20, 2025 | By M10News Crime Desk
A 32-year-old mother of seven has been charged with attempting to traffic her infant daughter for sex, following a federal investigation triggered by disturbing messages allegedly sent via Snapchat.
Morgan Stapp, from Indianapolis, was arrested on July 8 after FBI agents said she used the social media platform to offer her 7-month-old baby to a man for sexual abuse in exchange for $400.


According to a criminal complaint reported by People.com, the alleged offer was made in a message sent on November 1, 2024. The conversation was flagged by Snapchat’s automated system and passed on to law enforcement.
In the exchange, Stapp allegedly told the man, “Half now, rest after,” before offering her address and stating, “I do live alone, and her dad is not in the picture.”


Federal agents from the FBI’s Crimes Against Children unit arranged to meet with Stapp at her residence in Indianapolis shortly after receiving the tip.
During the visit, investigators said Stapp denied ever using Snapchat. However, officers subsequently obtained a search warrant for her Snapchat data.


The search revealed that only one device had access to the account in question, and thousands of messages had been sent between October 29 and November 1.
Among those messages were at least 81 where Stapp reportedly offered to sell nude images of herself to raise money for baby supplies, specifically mentioning the need for diapers.
Officials described the digital evidence as “damning,” with prosecutors stating it supported a clear intent to profit from sexual exploitation.
Stapp was taken into custody last week and is currently being held at Marion County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
She is facing a felony charge of attempting to commit child sex trafficking, and authorities say further charges may be considered as the investigation develops.
The FBI has not commented publicly on whether any other individuals are being investigated in connection with the case.


Child protective services have not confirmed whether Stapp’s other six children remain in her custody or have been placed in care.
Stapp is due to appear in court again on September 15 for a preliminary hearing in the case.
The allegations have sparked widespread public condemnation and raised concerns about how technology platforms identify and report potential abuse.
