MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – A ruthless judgment was delivered today as CODY LANE PAX, a 20-year-old resident of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, stood before the bench for his crime. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced that PAX has been sentenced to serve 51 months in federal prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release, for POSSESSION OF CERTAIN MATERIAL INVOLVING THE SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF MINORS.

The sentence was handed down by The Honorable James H. Payne, District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, during a hearing held in Muskogee.
