A Mannford man has been sentenced to 78 months in federal prison for attempting to transfer obscene material to a minor, announced U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.
U.S. District Judge Claire V. Eagan sentenced Johnny Wayne Rose Jr., 41, of Mannford, to 78 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release.
In October 2021, Rose Jr. pleaded guilty to attempted transfer of obscene material to a minor in federal court. In his plea agreement, Rose Jr. admitted that he used his cell phone, Facebook, and Kik to converse with an individual he believed was a 15-year-old female runaway who was addicted to methamphetamine.
The conversations, which occurred between February 25, 2021, and March 5, 2021, were actually with an undercover investigator from the Rogers County Sheriff’s Office. During the conversations, Rose Jr. attempted to convince the individual he believed to be a minor to meet for sex and offered to provide methamphetamine to the “minor.” He also asked for topless photographs from the “minor” and sent sexually explicit photographs of himself.
This case was brought as part of Operation Clean Sweep, a four-month long operation that concentrated law enforcement efforts on counteracting the spike in internet facilitated child-exploitation crimes in the Northern District of Oklahoma. The operation was carried out in partnership with more than a dozen local, state, tribal and federal law enforcement agencies.
The Rogers County Sheriff’s Office conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Nassar prosecuted the case.
