Sunday, August 9, 2026 - Influencer Ash Trevino has pleaded guilty to welfare fraud and healthcare fraud after Texas prosecutors alleged that she had relationships with between 50 and 75 inmates over several years.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, prosecutors
claimed Trevino had relationships with approximately “50-75 inmates” in the
Texas Department of Criminal Justice. They alleged that some of the inmates
were serving sentences for violent offences, including aggravated robbery and
murder.
Prosecutors also accused Trevino of soliciting money from
followers on TikTok in exchange for disclosing health information about a
dependent.
The court documents further alleged that the influencer had
participated in s3xually explicit videos and livestreams on social media.
Trevino was initially arrested in December 2025 on outstanding warrants. She
was released after posting bond but was taken back into custody in March 2026
for allegedly violating the conditions of her release.
She was subsequently charged with welfare fraud and
healthcare fraud. This week, Trevino pleaded guilty to the charges and avoided
additional jail time. She was sentenced to two years of community supervision,
120 hours of community service, an anti-theft class and financial counselling.
She was also ordered to pay $16,799.95 in restitution to the
state. The allegations concerning her relationships with inmates and her social
media activity were made by prosecutors in court documents and were not
themselves the basis of the fraud convictions.
