Trinity Acquart Anderson faces charges of conspiracy to sexually abuse two children, receipt and distribution of child sexual abuse material, distribution of videos depicting animal sexual abuse, attempted coercion and enticement, and conspiracy to distribute animal sexual abuse material. A second defendant, 20-year-old Zaden Jasso of Austin, Texas, is charged with distribution of child sexual abuse material, conspiracy to travel with intent to engage in illegal sexual activity, distribution of animal sexual abuse material, and conspiracy to distribute animal sexual abuse material. Jasso is in custody in Texas on unrelated state charges.

The investigation began when the messaging app Kik reported a possible child sexual abuse material account, allegedly used by Anderson, to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Clarksville police executed search warrants and found evidence that Anderson exchanged explicit images and videos of infants and toddlers with Jasso and others between at least June and November 2025, including material stored on her phone.

Prosecutors allege that Anderson and Jasso discussed plans to abuse two young female relatives of Anderson, talking about arranging for the children to visit her during the summer and intending to drug and abuse them. Anderson allegedly contacted the children's mother to request the visit. Investigators also reportedly found videos on Anderson's phone depicting sexual abuse of her own dog, as well as videos made by Jasso involving his dog.

"The allegations in this case are deeply disturbing and describe the deliberate exploitation of children and animals," said U.S. Attorney Braden H. Boucek. "Those who trade in material depicting such abuse contribute to the continued victimization of the most vulnerable, and those who conspire to sexually exploit children will face the full force of federal law."

If convicted, Anderson faces a range of penalties, including mandatory minimum prison terms for some offenses and up to life in prison. On Nov. 4, U.S. Magistrate Judge Luke A. Evans ordered her held in custody pending trial.

The case is being investigated by Homeland Security Investigations, the Clarksville Police Department, and the Department of the Army Criminal Investigation Division. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jacob J. London and Monica R. Morrison are prosecuting. The prosecution is part of Project Safe Childhood, a Department of Justice initiative launched in 2006 to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.
