Overview
- Trevino pleaded guilty to two felony counts of welfare and healthcare fraud and was sentenced to two years of community supervision after the plea last Wednesday.
- Her sentence requires $16,799.95 in restitution to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, 120 hours of community service, enrollment in an anti-theft program and financial counseling.
- Prosecutors allege in court documents that Trevino had romantic relationships with roughly 50 to 75 Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmates, including people jailed for violent offenses, but those claims are allegations in the record rather than new criminal convictions.
- Authorities say the fraud covered benefit applications from May 2019 through July 1, 2024 and involved about $2,500 in SNAP benefits and roughly $30,000 in Medicaid payments, and Trevino was first arrested in Venus, Texas, in December before briefly returning to custody in March for alleged bond violations tied to alcohol.
- Trevino, who has reported social‑media followings of about 500,000 and produced content focused on dating incarcerated men, drew public attention for her online persona and the court used that online activity as contextual material for prosecutors' allegations.
