During the spring and summer of 2020, Defendant dated Morgan Holt, the single
mother of R.H. R.H., an Indian, was only five years old at the time. Holt often worked
weekends, and Defendant offered to babysit R.H. at his house in Indian Country while
Holt worked. Holt trusted Defendant, who had children of his own, and agreed. But
instead of supervising and caring for R.H., Defendant sexually abused her and recorded
the abuse on his cellphone. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation recovered
images and videos of the abuse sent between emails belonging to Defendant. Some of
the images showed R.H. fully unclothed and bound in wrist and ankle restraints with
blue tape across her mouth and laying on a blue blanket. Other images showed
Defendant touching his mouth to R.H.’s genitals and fondling them.

Outcome: Defendant was found guilty and was sentenced to life in prison.
