  • Sprayberry, 32, a former Democrat candidate who publicly called for President Trump's assassination in February 2025, faces human trafficking charges among other suspects accused of arranging sexual encounters with minors.
  • Investigators undercover as minors established 35 cases, seized 21 electronic devices, and confirmed suspects exchanged explicit content and planned meetings for sexual acts with children.
  • Officials emphasized the arrests prevent harm to children, urging parents to closely monitor online activity and report suspicious communications to authorities.
