A Texas man posing as an executive for a reality TV show has been arrested two years after he was charged with sex assault in two states. Trenton Roy, 26, is being held on a $250,000 bond in Harris County, where he was arrested in late November.
Roy had been identified online as an "executive" for the streaming platform The Zeus Network and had reached out to women from its official account to audition for the reality show "Baddies South". A search warrant filed in the case reveals that one of these women, a 24-year-old woman from another state, participated in a virtual audition and was invited to come to Houston for a second audition.
When the woman arrived at Roy's home near the Fifth Ward, she claimed he pressured her into having sex with him after she declined. According to the search warrant, Roy told her that if she didn't comply, "you're fired". The woman said she felt like she had no choice but to give in to his advances.
The next day, the woman alleged that Roy again assaulted her at his home, and a sex assault charge was filed against him in Harris County in October 2023. Roy was arrested at the end of November and has been held on a $250,000 bond since then.
But it appears that Roy's trouble with the law goes back further. In April 2024, he was charged in Maricopa County, Arizona, with two counts of sex assault, strangulation, and kidnapping after another woman claimed he had assaulted her at his home there as well. The prosecution dismissed those charges earlier this year to send the case back to a grand jury.
The investigation into Roy's activities is ongoing, and authorities are still trying to determine how he was taken into custody.

This guy Trenton Roy just goes around pretending to be someone he's not, and gets women in a situation where they feel like they're trapped. And then he has the nerve to say "you're fired" if she doesn't comply. That's not a reality TV show executive, that's a predator. 
He was able to get away with it for two years because no one was paying attention, but now he's finally facing justice.
I hope he gets the sentence he deserves and that no one else has to go through what these women are going through.
i mean, who targets women like that? he thought he was some kinda executive, huh? 
anyone can come up with a fake online persona. but seriously, this is just so disturbing. these young women were just trying to audition for a show and ended up in horrific situations. the police need to do better to catch people like this ASAP 
I'm just so sick about this guy Trenton Roy - it's like he thinks the world revolves around him & his ego 
. Can you imagine how scared & traumatized these women must've felt while that was happening? It's just not right that some people think they can just get away with this kind of behavior 
.
.
. He’s just scaring women left and right online and offline, making them feel trapped and vulnerable. And the worst part is, he even used his fake executive persona to lure them in, playing on their hopes of being on a reality TV show 
. It’s just so messed up that he got caught two years late, when it could have been prevented if people had spoken out sooner 
.
and got arrested 2 yrs after being charged with sex assault 
! Like, what's going on? How did nobody catch on sooner? I feel so bad for all the women he allegedly assaulted 
. And $250k bond? That's just insane 
. By the way, have you tried The Zeus Network yet? 
anyway so Trenton Roy gets busted for sex assault two years after he got charged and now he's stuck on a $250k bond. but here's the thing, 26 and already getting into trouble like is this just a phase or was he always like this? 
what a total disappointment it is when people like him think they can just pretend to be someone else online and get away with their BS in real life... 
. And can we talk about how long it took for him to get arrested? Two years?! That's just ridiculous. I hope the woman who accused him gets some kind of justice and compensation out of this deal... she was definitely in a vulnerable spot when he pulled that stunt on her 
. And the audacity of him pressuring her into sex after she said no? Like, what's wrong with these people?! 
. We need more people like Trenton Roy being held responsible for their actions 
.
It's a big wake-up call for all of us to be more careful online and not trust someone just because they claim to work somewhere important. 
.
, getting women excited for a reality show, but behind the scenes, he's been living a life of manipulation and control 
. We gotta ask ourselves, what are the underlying issues here? Is it a lack of accountability? A culture of silence? A systemic problem? Whatever it is, we gotta face it head-on and work towards change 
And then they've got the nerve to pressure some poor woman into having sex with them after she says no? Give me a break!
