After a five-day federal trial, a jury found Tiwan Robert Bailey, also known as “Quick,” and Carrie Roy, also known as “Carrie Ash,” guilty of sex trafficking conspiracy in Charleston, West Virginia. The verdict was reached on September 29, 2025.
The prosecution presented evidence that from November 2023 to July 2024, Bailey trafficked four female victims—including a 17-year-old—forcing them into commercial sex acts and taking all the money they earned. According to the case details, Bailey used threats and violence against his adult victims. He sent threatening messages through Facebook Messenger and physically assaulted them. He also supplied drugs to victims who struggled with substance use disorders and withheld drugs as punishment.
Roy was found to have aided Bailey by helping traffic the minor victim and transporting three adult victims for commercial sex acts. She collected money from these activities for Bailey.
Bailey became a fugitive after an arrest warrant was issued on July 23, 2024. The United States Marshals Service apprehended him in Lexington, Kentucky on January 17, 2025.
Both defendants were convicted of one count each of sex trafficking of a minor and conspiring to commit sex trafficking of a minor. Bailey was additionally convicted of three counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, as well as obstruction of justice.
Sentencing is scheduled for February 9, 2026. Bailey faces between fifteen years and life in prison; Roy faces between ten years and life.
“Bailey was particularly brutal in his mistreatment of the victims of this case, subjecting them to violent threats and assaults. Sex trafficking is a depraved crime of exploitation, and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia is committed to delivering justice for the victims of sex trafficking,” said Acting United States Attorney Lisa G. Johnston. “I commend the U.S. Department of Homeland Security-Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Charleston Police Department, the United States Marshals Service, and the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office for their investigative work in this case, and the Metropolitan Drug Enforcement Network Team (MDENT) and the West Virginia Fusion Center for the assistance they provided. I also commend Assistant United States Attorneys Jennifer Rada Herrald and Jennifer D. Gordon and our trial team for securing guilty verdicts on all counts against Bailey and Roy.”
United States District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin presided over the trial.
