MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – Cody Michael DeGraw, age 30, of Coweta, Oklahoma, was sentenced to 87 months in prison for one count of Possession of Certain Material Involving the Sexual Exploitation of a Minor.

The charge arose from an investigation by the Homeland Security Investigations.

On July 10, 2025, DeGraw pleaded guilty to the charge.
