According to court documents, an investigation conducted by the Homeland Security Investigations revealed that from 2021 through 2022, a now-15-year-old minor living in Texas and another minor engaged in sexual intercourse and then sold videos and images of these sexual encounters on the internet through various social applications including Snapchat.

It is alleged that Sisk, using the Snapchat username “JAKESMOOT2021,” paid approximately $465 through a cash app to the minor in exchange for multiple sexually explicit images and videos.

Homeland Security Investigations – Washington, D.C. is investigating the case.
