Oklahoma Man Pleads Guilty to Child Pornography Charges
An Oklahoma man has been brought to justice for his heinous crimes against minors.
Hunter Jacob James Hope, 21, of Muldrow, Oklahoma, pleaded guilty today to producing and possessing child pornography.
According to court documents, Hope engaged in a pattern of conduct that involved threatening to share sensitive images of minors unless the minors either engaged in sexual acts with him or provided him over the internet with sexually explicit images of themselves.
The charges against Hope include seven counts of production of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. He will face a term of imprisonment between 262 to 327 months, which will be determined by a federal district court judge after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The plea agreement also requires that Hope pay restitution.
Acting U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Wilson of the Eastern District of Oklahoma said, ‘This case is a prime example of the dangers of child pornography and the importance of holding perpetrators accountable.’
The investigation into Hope’s crimes was led by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Dallas.
Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, brought this case to fruition. The initiative was launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
