Two men from Texas have been charged in an alleged plot that included “invading an island off Haiti, murdering the men on the island, and using the women and children as sex slaves,” the Justice Department announced.
“Gavin Rivers Weisenburg, 21, of Allen, and Tanner Christopher Thomas, 20, of Argyle were named in a two-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Texas charging them with conspiracy to murder, maim, or kidnap in a foreign country and production of child pornography,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Texas stated in a release.

More from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Texas:
Information presented in court indicates that between August 2024 and July 2025, Weisenburg and Thomas are alleged to have conspired to recruit and lead an unlawful expeditionary force to the Island of Gonave, which is part of the Republic of Haiti, for the purpose of carrying out their rape fantasies. Weisenburg and Thomas planned to purchase a sailboat, firearms, and ammunition, then recruit members of the District of Columbia-area homeless population to serve as a mercenary force as they invaded Gonave Island and staged a coup d’etat. Weisenburg and Thomas intended to murder all of the men on the island so that they could then turn all of the women and children into their sex slaves.
Weisenburg and Thomas undertook numerous overt acts in furtherance of their invasion plan, including making operational and logistical plans, learning Haitian Creole language, recruiting others to join the invasion plan, and researching and enrolling in schools to acquire skills relevant to the invasion plan. Thomas even enlisted in the U.S. Air Force to acquire military skills relevant to the invasion plan.
Weisenburg and Thomas are also charged with production of child pornography in a related count in the indictment.
Gonave Island, located in the Gulf of Gonave, has a population of nearly 100,000.

The New York Post noted:
Gonave Island is located in Port-au-Prince Bay and is the largest island off the island of Hispaniola. Despite picture-postcard beaches and views, its population has suffered widespread hunger, according to the La Gonave Community & Child Association.
Weisenburg, of Allen, and Thomas, of Argyle, face up to life in federal prison if convicted of the conspiracy to murder, maim or kidnap in a foreign country charges.
They separately face up to 30 years — and at least 15 — if convicted on the child porn counts.
