Eugene Couple Arrested in Multi-City Child Sex Trafficking Case

Anthony D’Montrez Crawford and Kaytlynn Ann Crawford, also known as Alderman, both from Eugene, Oregon, have been arrested and charged with multiple federal offenses including sex trafficking of children by force, fraud, or coercion, transportation for prostitution, and conspiracy. Crawford is accused of forcing individuals, including minors, into prostitution in the Eugene, Springfield, and Portland areas, using online advertisements, intimidation, threats, and violence, and transporting victims between cities using rental cars. Alderman allegedly facilitated the trafficking operation by renting vehicles, allowing hotel bills to be paid with her bank card, and receiving payments through a CashApp account in her name. The FBI rescued a minor victim trafficked across Seattle, Portland, Eugene, and Springfield, and identified an adult victim forced into prostitution in the same areas. Crawford was ordered detained pending further court proceedings while Alderman was released under conditions. This case is part of the Department of Justice’s Project Safe Childhood initiative, aimed at combating child sexual exploitation nationwide.
