A 30-year-old Eugene man pleaded guilty Wednesday, April 22, to sex trafficking of a child, federal prosecutors said in a news release.

Anthony D’Montrez Crawford admitted to trafficking a 17-year-old victim from July 2024 to August 2024 in Eugene and Springfield, according to the release from Oregon’s U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Crawford’s sentencing is set for Aug. 19 in U.S. District Court in Eugene. He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison and a minimum sentence of 10 years.

Prosecutors said Crawford and his wife posted online advertisements for commercial sex and “coordinated sex acts” through phone and text messages. The 17-year-old was also taken to Seattle to engage in prostitution, prosecutors said.

A criminal complaint filed in August 2025 named both Crawford and Kaytlynn Ann Crawford as a Eugene couple suspected of involvement in sex trafficking.

Prosecutors filed a formal charging document March 5 against Anthony Crawford but have not done so for Kaytlynn Crawford.

On March 24, prosecutors and defense attorneys for Kaytlynn Crawford stated more time was needed to investigate, according to a court filing.
