Corey Michael John, a 25-year-old man from Owasso, Oklahoma, was sentenced for his role in receiving, possessing, and distributing child sexual abuse material. In 2025, an undercover agent with Homeland Security Investigations discovered John on the social media application Kik, where he was sharing disturbing videos of children being sexually abused. The agent received 10 videos from John, which led to a search warrant and the seizure of his electronic devices.
When agents interviewed John, he initially denied any involvement with child sexual abuse material. However, after being shown the evidence on his cellphone, he admitted to talking with others online about the material, downloading it, and viewing it. John also admitted to creating an alias username and attempting to frame someone else for his crimes.
The investigation revealed that the child sexual abuse material found on John’s devices contained images of 88 previously identified victims, who were notified and allowed to submit victim impact statements. The victims were from the United States and various parts of the world.
John was sentenced to 121 months in prison, followed by 10 years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay $24,000 in restitution and will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release.
