Overview
- Todd James Wallace, a Minneapolis Public Schools staffer, was arrested at Andersen United Middle School and later released after posting a $25,000 bond, with his next hearing set for May 28.
- Investigators with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and a human trafficking task force ran an undercover probe from February to April that targeted Adultlook.com ads for women using the names “Willow” and “Cheyenne.”
- Agents who canceled appointments received $50 “cancellation fee” demands and threats to contact their work or family, along with payment handles that included “@todd-wallace-88” on Venmo and Cash App.
- A search at a Stevens Square residence led a woman to identify Wallace as the person who posted the ads and handled messages, and she said he kept 50% of client fees and urged her to recruit others.
- The complaint also ties Wallace to a Craigslist “spa modeling” ad linked to a Hopkins address, and court documents say school staff alerted him to investigators before his on-campus arrest as the district says it is following its personnel process.
