A Lame Deer man who admitted to attempting to have sex with two minor girls on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation was sentenced today to 10 years in prison, to be followed by 10 years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Jesse Laslovich said.
The defendant, Travis Dean Two Two, Sr., 36, pleaded guilty in March to attempted coercion and enticement and to attempted sex trafficking of a minor.
U.S. District Judge Susan P. Watters presided.
“Two Two is a predator who used social media to contact and communicate with juvenile girls for sexually explicit conduct for his own gratification. Prior to the initiation of this case, Two Two was a danger to children, especially girls of the Northern Cheyenne Nation. For at least the next 10 years, he’ll no longer be a threat to them,” U.S. Attorney Laslovich said.
In court documents, the government alleged that from about May 2023 to August 2023, in Lame Deer and Ashland, on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation, Two Two communicated through Facebook with a 14-year-old girl, identified as Jane Doe 1, who was living on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation.
The communications were made available to law enforcement, and law enforcement obtained consent to take over Doe 1’s account and communicate with Two Two.
The communications became increasingly sexual. Two Two requested naked pictures of Doe 1 and made plans to meet with her for sex. Ultimately, Two Two discussed meeting Doe 1 at the MontanaFair in Billings and indicated he wanted to take nude pictures of her and “maybe make a video” of sex acts with her. He noted that he “like[s] them young.”
Law enforcement arrested Two Two on August 19, 2023, as he was leaving the Montana Fair.
The government further alleged that from about June 2023 until September 2023, at Lame Deer, Two Two attempted to engage a minor girl in commercial sex. In August 2023, law enforcement interviewed a 16-year-old girl, identified as Jane Doe 2, who indicated she had met Two Two in 2021 and that they had communicated through text messages in the summer of 2023.
Doe 2 told law enforcement Two Two provided her with marijuana and that in exchange, Two Two began asking for sex acts to pay for the drug. Doe 2 indicated that she allowed this to occur on a couple of occasions.
