Traylan Xavier Mosley, Child Exploitation, Texas 2025

A Carrollton man has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for child exploitation violations in the Eastern District of Texas. On August 26, 2025, Traylan Xavier Mosley, 21, pleaded guilty to advertising child pornography and was sentenced to 360 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Amos L. Mazzant, III.

According to information presented in court, Mosley used photos he found online to pretend he was an attractive girl to entice teen and pre-teen boys to send him photos and videos depicting sexually explicit conduct. He then packaged the boys’ photos and videos in a compilation thumbnail image with the individual boy’s name written on top. Customers on various social media platforms would then purchase those packages, either one at a time, or in the case of one customer – the entire collection for $950 – and receive a link to access the content.

Federal agents identified more than 45 children across the United States who were victimized by Mosley. Other children were unable to be identified, and leads were sent to foreign law enforcement partners when the children were located outside the United States. The case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.

This case is a result of a joint investigation by the Frisco Police Department and the FBI. Assistant U.S. Attorney Marisa Miller prosecuted the case. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Amos L. Mazzant, III.

The case serves as a reminder of the dangers of child exploitation and the importance of protecting our children from predators like Mosley. It also highlights the efforts of law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to bring offenders to justice and ensure that our communities are safe for our children.

As part of its efforts to combat child exploitation, the U.S. Attorney’s Office will continue to work with law enforcement agencies and other partners to identify and prosecute those who seek to harm our children.
