United States of America v. Evan Christopher Lee

Tulsa, Oklahoma, criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with receipt and distribution of child pornography.

While FBI agents were conducting an undercover operation online in 2024, agents discovered an IP address sharing files that contained child sexual abuse material. After further investigation, agents executed a search warrant at Evan Christopher Lee, 36's, apartment and seized several electronic devices. Agents reviewed the devices and found thousands of images of children being sexually abused, as well as thousands of images of computer-generated child sexual abuse material. Court records show that Lee also possessed images and videos of children under the age of 12 and infants being sexually abused.

The child sexual abuse material found by agents was sent to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s Child Victim Identification Program. They identified at least 93 known victims, and victim impact statements were provided to the court. Restitution paid by Lee will go directly to the victims who requested restitution.

While awaiting trial, Lee was released on bond. He was taken into custody after pleading guilty and will remain in custody until transferred to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

The FBI investigated the case, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Ashley Robert prosecuted the case.

The Defendant was found guilty and was sentenced to 87 months of imprisonment, followed by 10 years of supervised release, and to pay $24,000 in restitution. Upon his release, Lee will be required to register as a sex offender.
