Troy Moseley, III, Production of Child Pornography, Arkansas 2025

LITTLE ROCK—Troy Moseley, III, a 26-year-old North Little Rock man, was sentenced to 27 years in federal prison for production of child pornography. The sentence was handed down today by United States District Judge Lee P. Rudofsky.

On November 8, 2023, Moseley was indicted by a federal grand jury on one count of production of child pornography, one count of distribution of child pornography, and one count of possession of child pornography. On July 22, 2025, Moseley pleaded guilty to production of child pornography.

An investigation by Homeland Security Investigations with assistance from the Arkansas Attorney General’s Office and the North Little Rock Police Department revealed that on May 31, 2023, Special Agents with the Arkansas Attorney General’s Office obtained a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children filed by Snapchat on January 28, 2023. The cybertip included information that two videos were uploaded to Snapchat on January 28 and 29, 2023. The videos depicted an adult male engaging in sexual acts with a minor female.

After further investigation, the Special Agents identified Moseley as the individual who uploaded the videos to the social media platform. On September 27, 2023, Special Agents then obtained a search warrant for the residence where Moseley resided. During a search, it was learned that the password to the Wi-Fi at the residence was only available to those who lived in the residence. Officers went to Moseley’s place of employment where he fled out the back door and into the woods. Officers located Moseley later in the day and took him into custody.

When he was arrested, Moseley had in his possession a backpack that contained three electronic devices, suspected marijuana, a can of beer, and women’s thongs and panties. On September 28, 2023, Special Agents obtained a search warrant for the devices found in Moseley’s possession. During the execution of the search warrant on September 29, 2023, Special Agents discovered on one device over 100 images and videos containing child pornography and pictures of women taken in public places.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice and led by the U.S. Attorney’s Offices and the Criminal Divisions Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), it marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
