INDIANAPOLIS, IN — An Indianapolis mother of seven now faces a felony charge after police allege she attempted to sell sexual access to her infant daughter via Snapchat.
According to WTTV, investigators say 32-year-old Morgan D. Stapp offered a man the chance to molest the seven-month-old infant in exchange for $400, using messages and photos sent from the account “morgan‑stapp.”
Police arrested Stapp this week at her home on Union Street’s near south side, following an FBI-led investigation that began in November. The probe stemmed from Snapchat reports flagged for attempted sex trafficking, which included a message stating, “U can f**k her for 400$,” along with three photos of the infant.
A follow‑up message added: “Half now rest after. I’ll send my address. I do live alone, and her dad is not in the picture.”
When FBI agents interviewed Stapp on November 11, she initially claimed her account had been hacked and she no longer had access, WIBC reported.
But later that month, during a Department of Child Services interview, she admitted that explanation was false, telling agents, “I wanted the FBI to leave.”
By December, Indianapolis Metro Police obtained a warrant for Stapp’s Snapchat and uncovered thousands of messages sent over several days—even after she claimed to have lost access.
WTTV reported that one message read, “Would you be interested in buying my nudes so I can get baby diapers?” Investigators also noted that message activity originated from an IP address linked to Stapp’s home.
On July 1, Marion County prosecutors formally charged Stapp with attempted child sexual trafficking, a level 2 felony. A warrant followed, and she was arrested this week. Her bond is set at $200,000, and she is scheduled for an initial court appearance Friday at 9 a.m.

Federal and local authorities emphasize that if convicted, Stapp could face significant prison time.
