Troy Moseley, III of North Little Rock has been sentenced to 27 years in federal prison for producing child pornography. The sentence was announced by Jonathan D. Ross, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas, and was handed down by United States District Judge Lee P. Rudofsky.
Moseley, age 26, was indicted on November 8, 2023, by a federal grand jury on charges including production, distribution, and possession of child pornography. He pleaded guilty to production of child pornography on July 22, 2025. In addition to his prison sentence, Moseley will serve ten years of supervised release after completing his term. Federal law does not allow parole.
The investigation began when Special Agents with the Arkansas Attorney General’s Office received a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children based on information submitted by Snapchat in January 2023. The tip indicated that two videos depicting sexual acts between an adult male and a minor female had been uploaded to Snapchat.
Further investigation identified Moseley as the person who uploaded the videos. On September 27, 2023, agents executed a search warrant at Moseley’s residence where access to Wi-Fi was limited to residents only. Officers later located him at his workplace after he attempted to flee into nearby woods. Upon arresting him that day, officers found three electronic devices along with other items in his backpack.
On September 28 and September 29, authorities searched these devices and discovered over one hundred images and videos containing child pornography as well as pictures taken of women in public places without their knowledge. Some videos showed Moseley engaging in lewd acts while following women or focusing on images of minors; one video formed the basis for his conviction for production of child pornography.
“This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office announcement. “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.”
Homeland Security Investigations conducted this investigation with help from both the Arkansas Attorney General’s Office and North Little Rock Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Kristin Bryant prosecuted the case.
