Christopher Lynn Driskill, 48, a suspect in a child molestation case, has been identified and charged with production of child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Leigha Simonton.
Driskill, formerly identified as “John Doe 49,” thought to have critical information about ongoing child sexual exploitation, was identified on November 18. He was charged via criminal complaint with production of child pornography, arrested on November 26, and made his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge John R. Parker on Tuesday.
According to court documents, in July 2024, a foreign partner referred child sexual abuse material posted on the dark web to the FBI’s Victim Identification Program. In the videos, an unknown male subject with several distinctive tattoos – including the word “DABBY” on his chest,” the number –197x” on his left bicep, the words “CAST NO STONES” on his left forearm, and a Texas flag in the shape of a head on his right forearm – can be seen sexually assaulting a prepubescent male.
Separately, in September 2024, Driskill’s former dating partner reported to the Coleman Police Department that Driskill had confessed, while intoxicated, to molesting a child and recording it. Officers met with the child, who did not make an outcry, and interviewed Driskill, who denied sexually abusing the child and claimed his former partner was mad at him over a bad breakup. With no additional evidence at the time, the police department closed their investigation. However, the recorded interview with Driskill showed a “CAST NO STONES” tattoo on his left forearm, a 1975 tattoo on his left bicep, and part of a Texas flag in the shape of a head on his right forearm.
Meanwhile, FBI agents searching for the suspect located a public Instagram account whose profile picture appeared similar to the images of the subject in the child sexual abuse material. They traced the account to Driskill in Coleman, Texas. On November 22, agents coordinating with Coleman Police Department learned of the investigation into a possible molestation involving Driskill, and compared the footage of his interview to the child sexual abuse material. The face and tattoos allegedly matched.
Driskill is charged with one count of production of child pornography, a federal crime that carries a maximum penalty of up to 30 years in federal prison if convicted.
Driskill is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. His current status is pending trial.
